I thought that the Nero package came with a separate USB IR transceiver.  The 
au8522 is the demodulator on the HVR-950Q.  Take a look at the link in my 
original post.  Isn't the external box a standalone transceiver?  I don't 
claim to be an expert (as I don't have this package), but it sounded to me 
more like a MCE remote setup.
