Can I skip v4l2 and use this lib to read directly from /dev/video0?

[Benjamin Hill]

I'm dealing with a very old "Bayer RGB format"-only webcam, and was wondering if this library would allow me to skip using v4l2 and read image frames directly from the /dev/video0 device?  Does anyone have any code that would show how to figure out where a break between frames is?  Thanks!
