nack. This option is needed, since some cards can't be auto-detected. For
example, that device with ALC655 is a capture only device that doesn't have any
eeprom. Also, the autodetect hints think it is an Oral Camera. So, it uses the
"generic id". Of course, the generic entry doesn't work for it.

Cheers,
Mauro
