Well, what's the special problem of that area ? Even if this dll is used
by some
software accessing an USB device, it seems to do nothing hardware/USB
related at all, but
simple provides a single function to convert some data.
I also have some sample software for Windows, initializing that dll and
calling the
function. Of course the dll will probably depend on other Windows related
software/dlls/APIs, but that's what's wine might be able to provide.
What I'm really looking for is any type of documentation covering that
topic. I'm really
surprised that I was not able to find anything related, since it seems
like a very common
problem to me.

Probably
I do not use the proper keywords on my search,
Do you know any source of documentation for that problem. I found some
sources
using windows dlls for video and audio codecs, but nothing more general.
