Great, ffmpeg now setup properly to BuildRoot and video streaming through my in-progress loopback driver. Not having QA environment has kept this one stuck for few weeks.

I noticed that it is easy to break the driver so now that I can properly QA it I sort restarted the refactorization process as I can now do:

1. Do a small change.
2. Run test.

It's now much more relaxed as you don't have to think whether you break anything or not ;-) Mastodon is in par with Github i.e. it can screencast (plays custom GIF animations).

Conceptually this will laid out as follows, i.e. split one fops into 2x fops.

If I had not used some time of my holiday to work on test then this would have been never finished :-)

This was the most demotivating part. Even tho no progress in kernel code for few weeks, this kind of is still the "RFC patches will be submitted" milestone.

Working on kernel code and seeing how the changes affect - that is fun. Writing a driver blind - that is hell.
