Devin:

Yes, it is run after mplayer initially tunes it.  However, what is the
difference between mplayer tuning and v4l-ctl tuning?  They are both
submitting the same IOCTLs to the driver to accomplish the same end
result; or is mplayer probably submitting some additional IOCTLS to
"wake" the device?
