Actually, that way of writing the difference happens only in [#camera]... 
for the rest of GridFlow, both v4l1 and libv4l1 are handled by 
[#io.videodev], and both v4l2 and libv4l2 would be handled by [#io.v4l2], 
if it worked. It's just an option that [#camera] is telling [#in] when 
you want to open a camera.

it's the difference between those :

   [#in videodev /dev/video0]    <- v4l1 kernel
   [#in videodev /dev/video0 1]  <- v4l1 library

In GEM, however, V4L and V4L2 either always use libv4l*, or never. It's a 
compile-time option. If you do «ldd Gem.pd_linux» you may find out, I 
suppose.
