Hi,

We have been working on USB gadget function implementations for the
video device class, audio device class and human interface device class.
The main characteristics are:

Video

Intends to be compliant with version 1.1 of the USB video device class
specification, supporting BULK-IN video. This particular implementation
works by attaching itself to a framebuffer device (which should support
page-flipping mode). If synchronizes with the pan operation of the
framebuffer, so that each pan operation triggers the transmission of a
video frame over a bulk-in endpoint. The driver automatically determines
the proper video descriptors to use to represent the major aspects of
the attached framebuffer (such as width and height). From user-land
perspective, this driver has no particular interface; it just rides
along with any framebuffer updates.

Audio

This implements a USB soundcard interface with both playback and capture
support. The driver relies on isochronous endpoint support in the USB
device controller. From user-land perspective the interface is an ALSA
soundcard with two devices. There are module parameters that determine
the characteristics of the sound devices (samplerate, # channels). There
is a limitation that these characteristics are set upon initialisation
of the driver, and cannot be changed thereafter.

Human Interface

This implements a small framework where handlers for various HID reports
can be added upon driver initialisation. The current implementation has
two report handlers that can handle 'touchscreen' reports (x,y &
pressure) and 'button press' reports. These are handled by inserting
appropriate events in the input framework and are represented in
user-land by the usual input device interfaces. 

These three functions are tied together in a composite gadget (using the
composite framework of course). 

We intend to release this implementation under the GPL (obviously) on
our GPL website, but feel that it may be of interest to others on this
list and may be a nice candidate for inclusion in upstream kernels.
Please let me know whether this work is of interest to you, and how I
should proceed.
