and you need gemlists for pix sources to emit pixel data.
and you need pixel data for [pix_record] to set the output frame
dimensions/colorspace.
and you need to set the output frame dimensions/colorspace in order to
turn a v4l2loopback OUTPUT device into a CAPTURE device.
and you need a CAPTURE device in order to read it in blender, vlc,... or
any other capturing application.
