Thanks for reviewing. Yes the Linux virtio-video frontend driver was posted
sometime back on the linux-media ML [1].

One piece of pushback then was not supporting vicodec/FWHT and also no Qemu
support [2] which is what this series is trying to address.

The virtio-video spec however is now at rfc v5. So my rough plan was now I have
something working with Qemu and vicodec I can move both the frontend driver
and the vhost-user-video to latest v5 spec.

I'm a bit unclear what the process is to get the virtio-video spec merged 
though.
I think I read somewhere they expect a matching frontend driver implementation?

Thanks,

Peter.
