The command line to start up the VM is
—
qemu-system-x86_64 -m 2G -cdrom openSUSE-13.1-NET-x86_64.iso -vga std -boot order=dcn os13.1-basis.img

and there are two USB devices present after booting up.
Both devices I CAN NOT remove using “usb_del” !!
( Interesting also that qemu actually hands over the machine's eyetv stick to the VM!!! ) 
Back to square one.
:-(

It’s to be expected?
Oh…

Well, a lot seems to work, indeed. But unfortunately I can’t get beyond the USB device recognition step.
