It uses C.

However, you should be aware that the 0.10 driver has a bug preventing
this from working. It is fixed in the 0.10 development branch and you can
get that code here:

http://ivtvdriver.org/viewcvs/ivtv/branches/0.10.tar.gz?view=tar

I will probably make a 0.10.4 release fairly soon, possibly even tonight.

The ivtv driver in the just-released 2.6.22 kernel has the same problem.
I've asked that this fix is queued for a 2.6.22 dot release and I expect
that it will in fact appear soon.

Regards,

         Hans
