The way IR works depend on vendor's decision. Even having some URB messages dedicated
to IR, someone may use instead an i2c chip.

If 0x32 is not IR, then maybe it might be an audio demod. The only way to know for sure
is to open a device that answers to this address and see what chips are inside.

0xc0 is for sure tuner. Allmost 100% of the tuners in the market (including xc3028) can
use 0xc0. All it is needed to change is to send 5V or GND to certain pins at the tuner,
chip in order to define what address will be used. Yet, all projects I've seen so far with
xc3028 use 0xc2.

0x10 can be used by some AM/FM radio chips with RDS.

Anyway, I'm almost sure that your board doesn't have any of those chips. If you're in doubt,
then you'll need to open your device and look what chips are inside, seeking for datasheets
or other info for the other i2c chips you might find.
