Nack.
V4L1 is an obsolete api, just like OSS, marked at feature-removal-schedule.txt to be removed on July (probably, we might need to postpone this, but this is another question).
This API have serious trouble on handling video and audio standards used on analog world and should be discontinued in favor of V4L2 API. Like ALSA have, V4L2 drivers also have a compatibility driver that changes calls from legacy userspace applications into newer V4L2 calls (of course losing several features, working fine only for a few video standards that were supported by V4L1).
Cheers, Mauro.
