Re: [PATCH] Implement V4L2_CAP_STREAMING for zr364xx driver

[Lamarque Vieira Souza <lamarque@gmail.com>]

	Hi guys. Any news about this patch? I really think is important to make 
zr364xx driver works with libv4l, mplayer, kopete and skype. Maintaining this 
patch out of tree is also troublesome for me, I would really appreciate if you 
could add it to the tree. If there is any problem with the patch let me know 
that will fix it.
