How about:

	#!/bin/sh
	guid=$(cat /sys/bus/firewire/devices/$1/guid)
	shift
	dvgrab -guid $guid "$@"

To be called as "dvgrab-wrapper fw3 [more dvgrab options]", with fw3 being
the device of your choice, e.g. the one that just scrolled by in syslog.

Or you run "grep . /sys/bus/firewire/devices/*/guid | sed s/\\/guid:/\\t/"
before dvgrab, and you get a list of GUIDs from which you can copy and
paste.

So far the configuration of the "new" firewire drivers were kept at an
essential minimum, and I am hesitant to add more baroque ones.  I would
rather drop this patch now that there was negative feedback, unless there
is going to be positive feedback as well.
