I added the missing cases and it seems to work ok. Here's the patch:

I now get this debug output when tuning to a channel with NICAM
stereo:

| + a lot more of these...
`----
And xawtv reports that the transmission is in stereo! Whether it will
report mono for a NICAM mono transmission I don't know, since mono
transmissions are becoming rare around here. As I've never seen a
multi-language transmission, this patch has only been tested for plain
NICAM stereo signals.
I should mention that I know next to nothing about the msp34xx, so my
changes may be way off base...
