Kino still uses the legacy raw1394 iso interface for capture by default; however, it can also still use dv1394. I will accellerate the adoption of the new raw1394 interface since I have already done this for dvgrab 2.0. Cinelerra supports libiec61883 now. Unfortunately, gstreamer still uses legacy raw1394 iso interface, but I can nag someone at Fluendo. I think another high profile app that might be affected is GnomeMeeting/Ekiga, but I have not kept close track of it. Also, I have not released a version of libraw1394 that contains the deprecation warnings, but I can do so this weekend. And then another release when the removed kernel interfaces are released that removes the functions.
