Yes, it would be nice to have [pix_video] work with the Kinect, but right now the plugins stuff is not fully done yet, and people want to work with the Kinect now. I tried to get stuff building using the Gem build system, but I couldn't get it going, so I just made a Makefile which seems to work. For one, it seems to depend on automake-1.11, which is not always easily available. I see no reason why the Gem plugins can work for automake-1.9 or even earlier, its not a complicated build.
On the Mac and Windows the proper way to do this is to make Quicktime components or DirectShow filters so any application can use the device. Writing specific app level code for every random video device is a waste of time.
the very same goes for linux; just replace QuickTime/DirectShow with v4l2
