  Amazing, I was just going to post to the list to ask if anyone is interested 
in starting this now that the codebase is stabilizing.  Please go ahead, 
Steven!

   You should only have to implement a video plugin, nothing more.  
QVSrcPlugin is the class that you reimplement.  I suggest to start by taking 
the v4l plugin, stripping out the V4L specific parts, and replacing them with 
FreeBSD specific code to create a new plugin.  If you get things working well 
and need KDE CVS access, please send me a note.  We can check code into CVS 
for you to get started.
