Answering myself:
I found one tool at:
https://github.com/oreillymedia/docbook2asciidoc
That seemed to work. I ran it with:
$ make DOCBOOKS=media_api.xml htmldocs 2>&1 | grep -v "element.*: validity error : ID .* already defined"
$ xmllint --noent --postvalid "$PWD/Documentation/DocBook/media_api.xml" >/tmp/x.xml 2>/dev/null
$ java -jar saxon9he.jar -s /tmp/x.xml -o book.asciidoc d2a_docbook.xsl chunk-output=true
And it produced a series of documents, that I stored at:
https://mchehab.fedorapeople.org/media-kabi-docs-test/
I noticed, however, that it kept some things using DocBook xml. Perhaps
because some things cannot be translated to markup (see appa.asciidoc)?
Also, converting them to HTML produced me some errors, but perhaps because
I don't know what I'm doing ;)
What I did was:
for i in book-docinfo.xml *.asciidoc; do asciidoc $i; done
errors enclosed.
Yet, it seems there are some hope on using asciidoc for the kAPI
documentation.
Thanks,
Mauro
