There might be something to gather from the PnP stuff, but I'm not
sure its enough to differentiate the cards.

The AverMedia (at least the one I've got) has no EEPROM, ot at least I
cannot find any on the card :). It does hav a PIC processor though, but
I think its only involved in the IR remote control receiver thats on
my board, and which I dont know how to talk to...

I totally agree... I still miss the entry for the Avermedia though so
one can select that for now....
