otoh, "close <ndevice>" is clearly faulty, as it allows you to close a
device that is not even open...
as written in before "i have added an open/close" message now for the
new [pix_video] implementation, neither of which (currently) takes any
arguments.

nevertheless, the exact naming of the methods is the least of my worries
now. it's way more important to get videoDS work at all...
