it turned out that i could fix the v4l2loopback kernel module so that it
is now supported by v4l2sink.
since this obsoletes the v4l2loopback gst-element, i guess one could
close this ITP.
should i do that?

this doesn't really mean anything.
the v4l2sink assumes certain capabilities of the sink device which were
obviously present on the device the upstream author was using, though
there could be (and are) other perfectly legal devices that don't have
this capabilities.
