If there's source, one would use native libusb. I'd go test with -current 
though. The libusb in the base there is the exact same as the devel/libusb 
port, with extras. If the source don't work out of the box, usb developers 
would definitely want to hear about it. Unfortunately, I lack the time (and 
interest for the moment) to try it out myself, even though I'd love to get my 
Sonix USB webcam working.
