It would be trivial to write a driver, like uscanner, that does the collection of two endpoints into one bidirectional file descriptor.
Endpoints are the pipes that USB communicates over, and due to sloppy documentation in the USB spec. implementors of firmware didn't realise that 1-in and 1-out are different endpoints. If 1-in and 1-out would have been used, ugen0.1 could have been used bidirectionally and all would have been well.
