interactively controlled by the user. For example TV viewers, Teletext

browsers, or just "panel" applications to change the channel or video

controls. This is the default priority unless an application requests

another.</entry>

<entry>Highest priority. Only one file descriptor can have

this priority, it blocks any other fd from changing device properties.

Usually applications which must not be interrupted, like video

recording.</entry>
