Define the Cargo feature matrix and supported capability combinations.
rs/moq-audio/Cargo.toml currently forwards pipewire and pulseaudio directly to cpal/..., so those features can enable cpal without capture or playback. The related policy states the desired behavior but does not define the replacement mappings, ALSA opt-in feature, or supported combinations. Add that matrix to this quest so the implementation and feature documentation have a concrete contract.

Verify the kernel-header part of the goal.
The goal requires a Linux capture build without libclang or kernel headers. The verification step only requires a host without libclang. Add a build in an environment without both dependencies, or state how the dependency-graph check proves that no build script reads videodev2.h.

Compile the independent v4l2 feature.
just rs capture runs with moq-video/capture,moq-audio/capture. It covers V4L2 camera capture, but not moq-video/v4l2, which enables separate encode and decode backends. The PR 3850 capture gate calls this recipe, so it cannot detect a break in the v4l2 feature. Add an explicit v4l2 build and inspect its dependency graph.

MERGE Positive improvement: yes. It correctly isolates why Worth the complexity: yes for a quest. Dropping the ALSA half after finding cpal 0.18 has no feature to shed it (and Nix already carries libasound) avoids a dead-end plan. Explaining why a workspace Different approach: upstreaming checked-in bindings to raymanfx/libv4l-rs first would be nicer long-term, and the quest already names that as the retire-the-fork path. Waiting on upstream would block capture-by-default; forking now and offering upstream later is the better sequencing. Rewriting the ioctl surface from scratch is rightly rejected.This is an automated review, not the maintainer's decision |

Add kernel headers to the packaging requirement.
The linked quest requires Linux capture and v4l2 to build without libclang or kernel headers. State both requirements here so a default capture cannot block cargo install moq-cli on linux/videodev2.h.
Suggested wording
- a default `capture` must not put bindgen and libclang in front of `cargo install moq-cli`
+ a default `capture` must not require V4L2 bindgen, libclang, or kernel headers for `cargo install moq-cli`📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Problem
PR 3850 kept
captureopt-in because on Linux it needs libclang plus kernel headers (v4l bindgen over videodev2.h) and libasound (cpal). Those system build dependencies block makingcapturea default feature.Approach
Scope two independently landable [S] quests in m2, and record them as blockers on Ship capture and playback:
capture-v4l-bindings: vendor or pinv4lwith checked-in bindings, dropping the bindgen build script, following the moq-nvenc and video-vaapi pattern. Runtime is already clean (kernel ioctls only); Nix bindgenHook already covers in-tree dev-time.capture-alsa-link: reframed to Nix-provides-dev-time plus zero runtime requirements. Nix already ships alsa-lib, alsa-plugins, and pipewire in the dev shell; the quest removes the load-time libasound requirement (runtime load with fallback, vaapi/nvidia pattern) and fixes the feature matrix so host flags never activate cpal alone. If cpal cannot do that in-tree, that half splits into its own upstream quest holding the cpal release as Required.cli-packaging.mdgains a## Requiredsection on both quests, so dispatch orders correctly (quest readyconfirms both new quests ready, packaging blocked).Impact
