For instance, our low level video api is the bt848 ioctl and I provided backwards compatibility with matrox meteor driver which uses an entirely different chipset. What you want is more video capture device drivers for different video capture boards using the bt848 ioctl interface which is sufficiently general to accomodate most video capture programs.
