+This library is an implementation of IEC 61883, part 1 (CIP, plug registers 
+and CMP), part 2 (DV-SD), part 4 (MPEG2-TS), and part 6 (AMDTP). Outside of 
+IIDC, nearly all FireWire multimedia devices use IEC 61883 protocols.
+
+The libiec61883 library provides a higher level API for streaming DV, MPEG-2
+and audio over Linux IEEE 1394. This includes both reception and transmission.
+It uses the new "rawiso" API of libraw1394, which transparently provides 
+mmap-ed DMA for efficient data transfer.  
+
+This requires libraw1394 (available at SlackBuilds.org).

+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.  Line
+# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' on
+# the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.  You must make
+# exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also customary to
+# leave one space after the ':'.
