OK, second one - no name device is "Realtek RTL2832U reference design"**.

First one:
Once upon a time there was a "EasyCAP"…
"After while crocodile!"
…and "EzCAP" was born.

Obviously Easycap EZTV646 != EzCAP EzTV646

ezcap EzTV646   0BDA:2838       RTL2832U/FC0012         Some revisions may have 
the E4000*

(Generic)       0BDa:2838       RTL2832U/E4000*
…
And, in addition:
http://sdr.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/rtl-sdr
0x0bda  0x2832  all of them     Generic RTL2832U (e.g. hama nano)**
0x0bda  0x2838  E4000   ezcap USB 2.0 DVB-T/DAB/FM dongle
…
Maybe?

"EzCap EZTV646 has got RTL2832U/FC0012. However rtl-sdr must be tweaked
to force FC0012 tuner because it has the same PID as EZTV668 (PID:
0x2838) so running it whithout a tweak will select Elonics E4000 tuner.
Works, not so good at filtering."
…
Conclusion:
At least two devices share same vid/pid with different tuners - fc0012
vs e4000.
How to resolve this from a drivers perspective in a proper way?

Beside,
there is GPL'ed 'e4k' tuner source code aka 'e4000 improved'*** (Elonics
E4000)
