1. N800 as a webcam device: I already recommended this idea on this
list earlier for anyone looking for some n800 related project to work
on. This would ideally involve a user-space streaming application on
the device and a v4l2 device driver on the PC. Now that everyone
knows there is FM radio capability on the device, the v4l2 driver
could also provide that capability on the PC.
regarding the idea of make the N800 work as WebCam like any other
plug-and-play webcam in the market for any OS:
There is nothing to be done in user space on N800 side. What has to be
done is a usb gadget driver on N800 side and it would make the usb port
work as UVC (usb video class) device, so Windows, Mac and Linux (with
linux-uvc module loaded) would work with it. I'm not sure N800 gadget
drivers sources are available on maemo repository, and if it isn't only
Nokia internal guys could do that (may be someone is writing such gadget)
BUT
yes it could be done in user space if you want:
1- define a network/stream protocol suitable for video like devices and
write a default user space app getting data from v4l2 and sending over
networking that implemets that protocol
2- write a v4l2 driver for it on desktop side
this way it would work for every linux (having v4l2 device) and desktop
devices
regarding radio may be it could be done with Usb Audio Class (I have to
look at this class) in the same way. BUT could also be done in user
space mode.
