It's in the .NET 2003 MSDN Library documentation,
section "Windows Development", subsection "Device
Drivers", somewhere in the still image stuff (I can
send you a PDF of it, it's around 30 MB). IStiUSD and
IStiDeviceControl are probably part of the Windows DDK
(Device Driver Kit), and that you get separately from
Microsoft (for a ridiculous price).

I'll see if I can get it from the ReactOS people. Does
anyone else on this mailing list have the Windows DDK
around and a spare stiusd.h they want to share?

Are you planning to write an STI mini-driver or just trying to load one?

I don't think you'll have much success trying to load one, and I'm not 
sure you need to write one.

I would have imagined that you implement IStillImage as returned by 
sti.StiCreateInstance() :

IStillImage::GetDeviceList will enumerate all the V4L devices available.

IStillImage::CreateDevice will open one and return an IStiDevice 
interface associated with one V4L device.

IStillDevice::RawReadData will read stuff from the V4L device.

Why are mini-drivers needed?

It's a free CD. You pay only for shipping. If you want, I've got two of those 
and can transfer one of them to be taken care of by the wine folks. As long 
as it's a US address, that is.
