Next release

[reedy]

Any idea when the next release will be?

Waiting on a couple of my additions (manpage and typos) to be able to include in and finish off https://github.com/pikvm/ustreamer/issues/59, rather than having patches in the packaging repo

Thanks!

Sup. I'm finishing a major change and I think it will be ready in a week.

@reedy If you want, you can help me. We need another man page for the new utility: ustreamer-dump. This is a thing to write a local stream from ustreamer to a file or redirect it to other utilities, such as ffmpeg:

$ ustreamer --jpeg-sink=test
$ ustreamer-dump --sink=test -o - | ffmpeg -use_wallclock_as_timestamps 1 -i pipe: -c:v libx264 test.mp4

I wrote a small help with an example.

I can have a look tomorrow :)

Looks like it shouldn't be too much work
