The infrastructure for audio and video on Linux leaves a lot to be desired. What does it take to make Linux a compelling architecture for AV programming?
Some of the items below are "must-haves", others are not. This is a brainstorm; priorities and deadlines should be made further down the road.
Forum: I suggest using the IRC channel #openvideo on Freenode
==Important infrastructure
- Jack working out of the box on the major distros (Debian/Ubuntu included) A unified video input/output API
- Same abstraction layer for accessing DV, HDV, firewire cameras and USB cameras. Pluggable encoders and decoders Features: Timecode API (extracting timecode, synching streams)
- Software timecode generators? (to add timecode to a stream)

==Nice-to-have infrastructure
Video standards (NTSC/PAL/PAL60/SECAM) mapped to locale. How? Just a long list with locales and the corresponding standard(s)?
