This is a driver interface. If it is not standardized, we get that ugly situation where an userspace app only works with hardware from a specific vendor.

- qwerty456127 5y agoIt doesn't have to only work with hardware from a specific vendor. It can unlock specific features (like hardware codec acceleration) when it detects specific hardware presence. And it doesn't have to be a userspace application, it can be a userspace library - e.g. something like GStreamer.
