That code was adapted from my original code. :-)
"This firmware is adapted from code provided by Xiaofan."

The main issue if you want to use libusb-1.0 with HID device
is when you want to have cross-platform capability. There is
no HID backend for Mac OS X and it is not easy now to
detach the kernel driver. And the Windows HID backend
is removed thanks to Peter Stuge's vehement objection to the
idea.

So you may want to look HIDAPI instead...
