Right, and HAL doesn't have better information for the other cases as yet -
I've been through the git20071017 sources we have in SUSE Factory and the v4l
support there is only a skeleton. All you can find out from it is that a
device is a v4l device and its device path, so I took webcam as the most
common case. Applications that need to care can then use v4l itself.
