Well, upgraded to kernel 3.7, but with the same results: no audio. Now 
the lsmod output shows the stk1160 driver loaded instead of the former 
EasyCAP, so that one got solved. Not quite sure about ac97 compliance, 
but I already tested with 5 or 6 different machines, all of them running 
the kernel 3.7 or up, and all of them also showing the ac97 bus being 
used by the ac97 codec (from lsmod output too), and none did work so far.

Little bit frustrating. May be time now to toss the damn dongle away and 
start looking for linux certified hardware.

Thanks anyway. Alex.
