The chip is a DPL3518A dolby decoder.

Currently I have no working stereo decoding here. The
autodetection with the 3410 doesn't seem to work. Neither the
native driver without my dpl3518 patches not the driver with
patches work in stereo. With my patches it hears like some pseudo
wide stereo mode.
I will bring in my patches today. Please test it. Then Roger can
commit the changes. Maybe Roger should ask his contact at
hauppauge about the wiring of the 3410 and the 3518. It will be a
lot easier to do a correct stereo detection then. As far as I got
the info from the data sheets, the 3518 is like a coproc to the 3410.
Regards,
Frank
