It was developed for Linux and uses udev rules to automatically start
listening to joysticks when they are plugged in and you can set osc address
names to specific joysticks (although not usb ports yet). It also has experimental
wiimote support using libcwiid.
This is not meant as a replacement for [hid] but was developed as part of my
wearable performance project. You just set your rules, turn on the daemon and
plug and play.
Let me know if it works ... there's quite a bit I'd like to do with it. If there's enough
interest I'll go to sourceforge.
