I would say: camorama, xawtv3, zbar, google talk, skype. If it runs
with those, it will likely run with any other application.

I would like to add the 'v4l2src' plugin of gstreamer, and on the
imx6 its

While it would be nice if somehow you would get v4l2src to work (in
some legacy/emulation mode through libv4l2),

v4l2src works just fine, provided the pipeline is configured manually in
advance via media-ctl.

 the longer plan is to
implement smart bin that handle several v4l2src, that can do the
required interactions so we can expose similar level of controls as
found in Android Camera HAL3, and maybe even further assuming userspace
can change the media tree at run-time. We might be a long way from
there, specially that some of the features depends on how much the
hardware can do. Just being able to figure-out how to build the MC tree
dynamically seems really hard when thinking of generic mechanism. Also,
Request API will be needed.

I think for this one, we'll need some userspace driver that enable the
features (not hide them), and that's what I'd be looking for from
libv4l2 in this regard.
