I don’t have a problem with making extcap a mandatory feature of

I would like a feature to turn some or all extcap interfaces off. I think
it’s good to have them default available to make it obvious they exist but
none of the default ones are particularly useful to me.


This is related to user experience, not compilation. Did you try to disable
some interfaces group, main window, next to the filter? There is wired,
wireless, USB and external interfaces. Disable the last one and you get rid
of all extcaps (display only).
