ok, so we have done double work...
my [pix_*NEW] objects (video/movie) do (hopefully, not quite sure about movie 
right now) support something like "color rgba" and "color yuv" messages.
they also have a "color grey" message (which i found very handy sometimes)

would it be possible to add grey-image support too ? (guess i hear a sigh from 
you)
don't know, but i guess the symbolic reference "rgba"/"yuv"/"grey" might be 
more intuitive then 0/1/?

cool.

most of these could wait for the next release then (if we manage to release 
soon ;-))

stability of [pix_] objects ([pix_rtx] seems to be unstable sometimes, same for 
[pix_sig2pix~] and [pix_pix2sig~])
need beta-testers for [pix_video] ieee1394-support under linux.

Gem is sometimes quite peculiar when developing patches under linux.
however, it runs rockstable in, say, installations.
