- This event is triggered if the control's value changes, if a
- button control is pressed or if the control's flags change.
- This event has a &v4l2-event-ctrl; associated with it. This struct
- contains much of the same information as &v4l2-queryctrl; and
- &v4l2-control;.</para>
-
- <para>If the event is generated due to a call to &VIDIOC-S-CTRL; or
- &VIDIOC-S-EXT-CTRLS;, then the event will <emphasis>not</emphasis> be sent to
- the file handle that called the ioctl function. This prevents
- nasty feedback loops. If you <emphasis>do</emphasis> want to get the
- event, then set the <constant>V4L2_EVENT_SUB_FL_ALLOW_FEEDBACK</constant>
- flag.
- </para>
-
- <para>This event type will ensure that no information is lost when
- more events are raised than there is room internally. In that
- case the &v4l2-event-ctrl; of the second-oldest event is kept,
- but the <structfield>changes</structfield> field of the

- buffer underrun it might not be able to generate this event.
- In such cases the <structfield>frame_sequence</structfield>
- field in &v4l2-event-frame-sync; will not be incremented. This
- causes two consecutive frame sequence numbers to have n times

- <entry>5</entry>
- <entry>
- <para>This event is triggered when a source parameter change is
- detected during runtime by the video device. It can be a
- runtime resolution change triggered by a video decoder or the
- format change happening on an input connector.
- This event requires that the <structfield>id</structfield>
- matches the input index (when used with a video device node)
- or the pad index (when used with a subdevice node) from which
- you want to receive events.</para>
-
- <para>This event has a &v4l2-event-src-change; associated
- with it. The <structfield>changes</structfield> bitfield denotes
- what has changed for the subscribed pad. If multiple events
- occurred before application could dequeue them, then the changes
- will have the ORed value of all the events generated.</para>
