After watching the UOS session regarding interfaces, one of the things that
I would like to know is how could the 15.04 security overrides be
implemented with interfaces. Would be great to know how the process of
defining a new kind of interface works, if there is any input format and if
the aforementioned case is a valid one. Would be enough to include
the "snapd-interfaces"[1] on a LP bug like was mentioned on the UOS?

The particular case would be to see how to use interfaces for a streamer
that uses a web camera feed with ffmpeg; With 15.04 we used the security
override feature (apparmor for the USB camera access & seccomp for the
set_priority call) to overcome these issues. Would there be any difference
for a general case trying to use other syscalls not allowed by seccomp?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Cheers.
