You might have found a bug in the tallying there in how cards are
self-identifying product strings. You'll notice the same exact entry
is listed twice in the Audio device table.  Are cards using the
ENS1371 driver misreporting their vendor/card version info? There are
only 5 listings in the table for the ENS1371 driver. There are dozens
listed for the Intel ICH driver. I bet if you totalled up counts by
driver, things would look more sensible to you with intel being a
reasonably large percentage of the drivers in use.

smolt updates the info associated with a UUID via its service and
cronjob configuration on a roughly monthly basis, unless someone
disables the smolt service.
