Well, how to manage HID device is other question. Usually a HID device provides the controls via input device API. It's not prohibited to use a sound API (in this case you'd need to create your own sound card object), though. > Does this driver then belong in sound/usb/ (given it imports the API > in <sound/control.h>) or somewhere else (e.g. drivers/hid/usbhid/, > drivers/usb/)? Not likely. It'll be a pure HID driver. HTH, Takashi
