I just got an EasyCAP usb device with component and S-video inputs, and it doesn't match what I was expecting from reading lists about drivers.
It identifies as 1f71:3306 and is not recognized by my Ubuntu system running 3.0.0.
3.0.0-14-generic #23-Ubuntu SMP Mon Nov 21 20:34:47 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
Searching for that usb identifier turned up threads about another device called Gadmei USB TVBox. I also found references to the em28xx driver, so I built and installed git://linuxtv.org/media_build.git, but this did not help. The id is not on the list here: http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Em28xx_devices
Anyone have a good suggestion what to do next? I think I covered the basics, but I'm definitely no expert, so apologies if I overlooked something simple.

Be careful, there are several devices that the commercial name
"EasyCAP" but that internally aren't the same thing. We had the
experience of a device labelled "EasyCAP", which was working fine with
the easycap driver in drivers/staging. We bought another one from
Amazon, also labeled EasyCAP, and even though it looked exactly the
same externally, the hardware inside is completely different and is not
supported by the easycap driver in drivers/staging.
Regards,
Thomas
