Luckily I got my hands on a Revision 1.6 card a few weeks back which
also uses this DAC. I never thought they would really sell it (or even
a revision 1.5) since revision 2.1 has been out for quite some time.
Use the "adac" parameter to select the audio DAC:

insmod dvb.o adac=1 ...

TI: adac=0 
CS: adac=1

Nope, no idea.
Of course the AV71xx is already quite old but they seem to be selling 
quite a lot in all those STBs (Nokia 9800 and Galaxy boxes) 
and the PCI cards.
