- This event is triggered if the control's value changes, if a

- contains much of the same information as &v4l2-queryctrl; and

- <para>This event is triggered when a source parameter change is

- runtime resolution change triggered by a video decoder or the
- format change happening on an input connector.
- This event requires that the <structfield>id</structfield>
- matches the input index (when used with a video device node)
- or the pad index (when used with a subdevice node) from which
- you want to receive events.</para>
-
- <para>This event has a &v4l2-event-src-change; associated
