Nice, I have this device too.  Someone gave it to me at OLS last year
and asked me to get it working.  I'd be glad to help out.

Depends, I think this driver looks like it talks through the same
endpoint for both HID and fm data, right?  From what I remember, it
didn't look like a new interface was created the split the device into
two "virtual" devices, but it has been a while since I last looked at
it.
