Well our current camera has a V4L based driver so we'd like to stick
to that :-).

The "Vendor Specific Class" above suggests that this camera does not
behave like a proper USV video or still camera, but rather uses its
own protocol (just like the camera we are replacing).
I have managed to convince the manufactuer of the fact that its a
good idea to provide some information and/or windows source code,
but as yet I can't predict how good that information will be.
