Comment 17 for bug 77456

No problem, iGadget :)

This would indeed be a good target for a bounty. It's a relatively simple modification (key word being relatively, of course), and the main developer for the project seems pretty busy. I'm not sure how much work has been done on linux-uvc in the past 6 months (I did check the svc just to make sure read wasn't already implemented, however).

I'd be willing to play with it myself, but like I said, I returned my UVC based camera, and I don't really have a reason to dole out $50-70 for a new one just to write the patch :) 'Course, if someone has an old one they're not using, I'd be glad to take it off their hands for development purposes :)

So anyway, I don't know much about the Ubuntu project, or how bounties get set, but yes, this would probably be a good target for one.
