   For the
record: Pieter Palmers has written (in a tremendous effort) a
 large part of AV/C descriptors parser.  This part is still not
 completed and needs some clean up, though a great job!  Meanwhile, I
 have been working on the basic framework (design and implementation).    
 Ok, would this make a good addition to libavc1394? 
Pieter Palmers and Girish Wadhwani are planing/wokring to incorporate the
generic parts of the parser into libavc1394.

  Yeah, I read about these proprietary protocols from
links off your blog,
 but I can't help but believe they are probably just some variant of the
 IEC 61883 AMDTP protocol and can be likely figured out -- at least for
 the core functionality. However, I do not have a device to know for
 sure. Probably special register addresses and value formats are used for
 proprietary controls - not so easy to figure out. 
For the time being, we will concentrate on the devices which are
standard complient.  The M-Audio device will be considered later.
