Isn't 0x32 D3DFMT_L8, not D3DFMT_X8L8V8U8 ?

VideoStreaming Interface Descriptor:
bLength 30
bDescriptorType 36
bDescriptorSubtype 5 (FRAME_UNCOMPRESSED)
bFrameIndex 1
bmCapabilities 0x00
Still image unsupported
wWidth 340
wHeight 340
dwMinBitRate 55488000
dwMaxBitRate 55488000
dwMaxVideoFrameBufferSize 115600
dwDefaultFrameInterval 166666
bFrameIntervalType 1
dwFrameInterval( 0) 166666

340*340 is 115600, so this should be a 8-bit format.

If the format is indeed D3DFMT_L8, it should map to V4L2_PIX_FMT_GREY (8-bit
luminance). I suspect the camera transmits a depth map though.
