Good question :-) Let's decide. Does anybody have a preference between

 * \brief Insert a text representation of a V4L2Subdevice::Stream into an
 *	output stream

(single tab after the '*', no space)

and

 * \brief Insert a text representation of a V4L2Subdevice::Stream into an
 * output stream

(single space after the '*')

?

Indeed not. I was planning to do so and then didn't. I'll drop the
comment change.

I'll fix it, and below too.

Most devices don't use streams, that's why I decided to overload the
get/set functions and offer users a pad-based interface and a
stream-based interface. It's low-maintenance on the V4L2Subdevice side
(at least for now), and allows callers that deal with stream-unaware
devices only not to have to specify the stream number. I think the code
gets more readable that way.
