The bounty is already taken by that developer.

But now, the Kinect thing is supported like a GPL userspace library.
Maybe still need more work to be rewritten as a kernel module.


This should better remain in userspace and interface libv4l/libv4l2 no
need to make things more complicated than they have to be.


As the author and maintainer of libv4l I say no, webcam drivers and
the like belong in kernel space. libv4l is there to add things
like format conversion (de-bayering in this case) which do not belong
in userspace.

Also there is no way to do 100% reliable isoc data handling from
userspace.

Hans
