Sorry for the late response,

I must admit I am not so active anymore with USB phone development
and my P1K sits idle in the box for some time.

I could add support for different phone types but I would have to have
an actual physical device to test it with.

Of course I would be accepting "high quality" patches which means:
- Don't break the current sysfs userspace interface.
  That way you can actually use your phone with Yeaphone or 
  Linphone => 1.7.0.

  (The only reason to change the sysfs interface right now is on request
  by Thomas Reitmayr or the linphone team.)
