Bug#645072: ITP: kinect-audio-setup -- enable audio input from the Microsoft Kinect sensor device



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Antonio Ospite <ospite@studenti.unina.it>

Dear Maintainer,

* Package name    : kinect-audio-setup
  Version         : 0.1
  Upstream Author : Drew Fisher <drew.m.fisher@gmail.com>, Antonio Ospite <ospite@studenti.unina.it>
* URL             : http://git.ao2.it/kinect-audio-setup.git
* License         : BSD-2-Clause, WTFPL
  Programming Lang: C, Posix shell
  Description     : enable audio input from the Microsoft Kinect sensor device

When the Kinect is first plugged in the USB port it shows up as a
generic USB device with a bulk endpoint; after uploading a certain
firmware a reenumeration takes place and a USB Audio Class device
becomes available.

kinect-audio-setup provides tools to download the firmware off the net
at installation time —since it is not redistributable—, and it sets up
udev rules to call the firmware loader when the device is plugged in to
finally get the USB Audio Class device.

Regards,
