Ah, but they do:

02:00.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors Unknown device 7162
        Subsystem: Animation Technologies Inc. Unknown device 0860
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 11
        Memory at 8d300000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1M]
        Capabilities: <access denied>

That's a PCI-e x1 LifeView LR860, iirc. Most of the silicon on the card is 
already supported under Linux, but the saa7162 pci-e bridge chip isn't as of 
yet, so you can't do squat with it. But they do exist, and someone is working 
on an saa7162 driver.

Looks like it, but I suspect its heavily loaded with DRMification.
