We think the future of generic Windows driver is WinUSB driver.
WinUSB already works with isochronous transfer since Windows 8.1.
Ref: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn376866(v=vs.85).aspx

So probably some capable people can step in and add WinUSB
support to libusbK.dll for the isochronous transfer function if you
still want to use libusbK API (libusbk.dll).

Another possibility is to look at usbdk which will be better supported
since it is from Redhat.
