Base on information in the article below, it seems that only USB 2.0 hub was shown. So this should be used with USB 3.0 machine only.

Hi -- the Creative Labs VF0800 "Senz3D" camera is not supported. I do believe it is actually a USB 2.0 device, but it is not a UVC compliant camera (you would need to poke some on-device registers and hack its isochronous streaming protocol). The Senz3D was a re-branded SoftKinetic ToF camera used with the original Perceptual Computing SDK and is no longer supported by the Intel RealSense team either.

Whoa! That is correct. I was thinking the Senz3D was the VF0800 not the VF0780. We almost always use the Intel names. In any case, neither the Senz3D nor the sidechannel microphone interface is supported by librealsense.
