I have it in early development. Its far from complete - just enough for the 
software (e.g. cheese or uvcview on the guest) to believe that there really is 
a UVC device there and try to open it.

I wasn't planning on being able to connect any V4L(2) device to the emulation. 
I was thinking more along the lines of a gstreamer output, or a fixed image, or 
a test pattern.

Natalia: if possible, could you provide an overview of your work in this area?
