Spice up the README. Wanted to add a pic of my Sonix but wouldn't help
as it takes so many shapes anyway. If you have a "noname" you might actually have one! git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@18674 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

There are 3 kinds of device-specific folders :

addons/ contains actual usb chip support code for each device.

sensors/ contains code to handle CMOS sensors, as each model

of a specific brand usually have a different CMOS chip

cstransforms/ for colorspace transforms so other device using

the same weird colorspace can reuse the code (not yet

used, sonix has its own code for now). It should be

possible to use Translator-based transforms, making

it easy to support webcams sending JPEG pictures.
|

Another option is to turn all cstransforms into actual

Translators usable by other apps, or also media codecs

but that would be more work for few added value.
