Hmm, in another thread Holger wrote that you told him to add this id...
Anyway, it doesn't hurt as this piece of code will never be reached for 
a budget card (0x1004).

IIRC Uwe's problem was that he gets no sound with his *Siemens* card.

You see the problem: I might add the ids 0x0000/0x0002 but I suspect 
that this will break DVB-S support (for cards without crystal DAC).
My DVB-S Nexus 2.1 has id 13c2:0003.

I think we need a reliable way to identify cable cards.
