Re: Issues with Empire Dual Pen: request for help and suggestions!!!

Just a little addendum.
I remember that the audio of analog tv has started to work with Markus' 
drivers when he added the em28xx-audioep driver because, if I have 
correctly understood, my device has a  noy standard audio.
Is it possible to import the necessary code in the main branch so that 
to have the device fully functional (today it is unusable to see analog 
tv because no audio is present).
Thank you to all,
Xwang
