[GEM-dev] summer of code stuff better pix_ treatment

[B. Bogart]

Hey Johannes,

I just wanted to hear what the scope of the Gem summer of code stuff is.

I've not had a chance but my cx88 cards are not working properly in gem
using pix_video (they will only do 256x256 in Gem, but 640x480 in xawtv)
Also a few strange things happen with pix_video (like resetting the fm
tuner, sending sometimes I can only send the appropriate values for a
device once "reseting" pix_video by instantiating it.

I just just curious if pix_video was part of the new coding project.

Also I've been thinking about a few things in gem that would be better
integrated for pixes, in particular I think it should be easy and
consistent to pass data to and from the following sources:

* file on disk
* sequence of files on disk
* pix_multiimage
* pix_buffer
* frame buffer
* texture buffer for a particular gemlist

I was speaking to Alexandre Quessy about it at the pdcon.

Hope all is well,
B. Bogart
