Which device is registered depends on the type argument. The following
types exist:
-- ``VFL_TYPE_GRABBER``: ``/dev/videoX`` for video input/output devices
-- ``VFL_TYPE_VBI``: ``/dev/vbiX`` for vertical blank data (i.e. closed captions, teletext)
-- ``VFL_TYPE_RADIO``: ``/dev/radioX`` for radio tuners
-- ``VFL_TYPE_SDR``: ``/dev/swradioX`` for Software Defined Radio tuners
-- ``VFL_TYPE_TOUCH``: ``/dev/v4l-touchX`` for touch sensors

The last argument gives you a certain amount of control over the device
device node number used (i.e. the X in ``videoX``). Normally you will pass -1
