   Sounds like even a better and more simpler idea! thanks. But are
you sure that a user-space apps can't implement a UVC device on the
usb-port in Linux? IIRC, it's very much possible to write user-space
device drivers that uses/needs USB port for I/O but don't take my word
for it as it's been quite some time since i last i wrote any device
drivers. Anyway, if it's possible then you wont need to write any
kernel-space code, let alone need to look into the n800 v4l2 driver's
source.
