new v4l capture patch by Jindrich Makovicka <makovick@kmlinux.fjfi.cvut.cz>:

- multithreaded audio/video buffering (I know mplayer crew hates threads
  but it seems to me as the only way of doing reliable a/v capture)
- a/v timebase synchronization (sample count vs. gettimeofday)
- "immediate" mode support for mplayer
- fixed colorspace stuff - RGB?? and YUY2 modes now work as expected
- native ALSA audio capture
- separated audio input layer

+.I NOTE:
+Mplayer doesn't accept colons so type commas instead in the device ID,
+eg. hw,0,0 instead of hw:0:0)
 
+Be advised that although you can select any samplerate when using ALSA,
+the LAME audio codec is able to encode only the "standard" samplerates.
+You'll get an .avi file with no sound when you choose an odd
+samplerate and use this codec.
