So far no clue.

Which are the "helper" chips on your card (the gallery
shows 2 little yet unknown chips, the pcb has room for three
more chips)? I assumed there could
be a sound decoder chip (e.g. tda9874); when sound is
decoded in the tuner itself, not much can go wrong...

mknod /dev/i2c-0 c 89 0 # to get detect and eeprom running
