If a Kinect camera device does not have a serial number, a fallback is to use the audio device serial number. However the logic in the fallback for testing the success of reading the audio device is broken and throws a warning on success.
The broken test is in src/usb_lib10.c at line 229.
src/usb_lib10.c:229
res = libusb_get_string_descriptor_ascii(audio_handle, audio_desc.iSerialNumber, serial, 256);
libusb_close(audio_handle);
if (res != 0)
{
FN_WARNING("Failed to get audio serial of K4W or 1473 device: %s\n", libusb_error_name(res));
}
The function libusb_get_string_descriptor_ascii() returns an int equal to the number of characters read on success, or a LIBUSB_ERROR code on failure [1]. The LIBUSB_SUCCESS code is 0 [2]. The code is trying to test for errors by looking for nonzero values, but in this case a positive value indicates success and a negative value indicates an error (all errors are given negative enum values). Thus the above code will always throw a warning on success and print "UNKNOWN" as an error string.
The code should be modified to test for a positive number of characters read (reading 0 characters successfully is not really a success). All that needs to be done is to change != into <=
src/usb_lib10.c:229
res = libusb_get_string_descriptor_ascii(audio_handle, audio_desc.iSerialNumber, serial, 256);
libusb_close(audio_handle);
if (res <= 0)
{
FN_WARNING("Failed to get audio serial of K4W or 1473 device: %s\n", libusb_error_name(res));
}
