Question / Help uvcdynctrl, Executing custom shell commands

Hey! I found out there's a Linux commandline program caled uvcdynctrl, that can list, get and set parameters for a V4L2 device.

If I could run custom shell commands in scenes (or execute scripts) I could easily automate some tasks like setting up my webcam parameters for proper lighting, or running an external audio processing suite (Carla plugin host).

I can make a shell script that'll do all that, but if I could link shell scripts to scenes or transitions, I could also do some other cool stuff, like animate the camera focus or exposure, alter my audio routing (jack_connect and jack_disconnect commands) etc.

Do you think such functionality could be widely useful for Linux and potentially also Mac and Windows users?
