Hi Eric.

Thanks for the review.

Documentation?! Surely not :-)
For now I'll leave it as a task for another day.

Will do in v3.

I'm only using them as flags and probably in a manner that nothing
else is likely to copy, so it seems a little excessive to put them in
a common header.
Perhaps it's better to switch to 0xFFFFFFF0 to 0xFFFFFFF3 or other
value that won't come up as a fourcc under any normal circumstance.
Any thoughts from other people?

Agreed. I'll remove in v3.

You're right. Copy and paste from the driver I'd based this on.
Will correct in v3.
