It's been a fair while since I looked at the sigrok code, but last I
saw, it has drivers for different logic analyser hardware platforms.

Some communicate with a basic serial (RS232-equivalent) interface and
protocol, some might use USB. There is no one standard "sigrok
protocol", as far as I know.

See, if you haven't already, http://sigrok.org/wiki/Supported_hardware
for the list of supported hardware platforms. If you're building your
own USB device, I guess you could "clone" one of the existing
platforms' interface, and make it "magically" work with sigrok. Not
sure if that could mean license/IP issues, of course, be at least
slightly careful would be my recommendation. I'm not a lawyer.
