I will make a Mlt v0.7.2 release soon, but I need to chase down more
possible changes needed for the FFmpeg major version upgrade and to
make sure it works ok with libav. However, I do think it is OK to
release Kdenlive v0.8 before that next version.

FYI there are still limitations in Mlt to do  preview while capturing.
Also, V4L+ALSA might give less synchronization than what even ffmpeg
provides (which might not be so hot either). Furthermore, in recent
testing, I found Kdenlive's existing Firewire capture to be even more
problematic in the area of preview. It seems ffplay no longer
tolerates stream discontinuity as much as it used to. Anytime you
pause/ff/rewind you introduce this discontinuity. Firewire is an area
I plan to address this summer.
