Linux: allow to select v4l2loopback device & allow outputting to multiple cameras in parallel #32

Closed letmaik closed 3 years ago

From https://github.com/letmaik/pyvirtualcam/issues/19#issuecomment-787501567.

On macOS and Windows only a single camera instance is available, but on Linux the user can create more than one v4l2loopback device and pyvirtualcam currently picks the first one it finds. It should be possible to select a device. A natural extension to this is to output to multiple devices in parallel.
