Um, no... it's not a hack, we just haven't figured out how to tell which cards 
needs which options. The original driver author who did all the disassembling 
of the windows driver has left, and none of us that are left have windows.

Let me know which encoder you have, adv7170/adv7175a/bt865 (check dmesg output 
after loading the modules) and which card and chip revisions you have (cat 
/proc/em8300/0). I might be able to find some working options for you.

Overlay is the thing that's hardest to get to work. Sigma has apparently gone 
to great lengths to try to make it difficult to decode how the em9100 works, 
they consider this to be one of their most important circuits.
