Interesting. May be worth reverse engineering. Does anybody know if running
windows in a virtualbox with USB pass-through allow to sniff the usb
traffic?

BTW: I didn't know that there was a manufacturer who made Linux support 
such a prominent feature. Nice!

Mine says:

[27648.472519] dvb-usb: found a 'Afatech AF9015 DVB-T USB2.0 stick' in cold 
state, will try to load a firmware
[27648.472598] firmware: requesting dvb-usb-af9015.fw
[27648.500072] dvb-usb: downloading firmware from file 'dvb-usb-af9015.fw'
[27648.567057] dvb-usb: found a 'Afatech AF9015 DVB-T USB2.0 stick' in warm 
state.
[27648.567182] dvb-usb: will pass the complete MPEG2 transport stream to the 
software demuxer.
...

I don't know if it is just a question of the firmware, or if different 
sticks with the AF9015 come with support circuitry that may or may not
support PID filtering.

@Antti: Do you know?
