Yeah, that's what happened. Will fix in next version.

Given that some serious thought...

Splitting into positive and negative supplies would make sense if the chip 
would have terminals for positive, negative and ground. Which it does not 
have, there's only positive and negative (which the datasheet misleadingly 
calls "analog ground").

The analog voltage supplied to the chip has no effect on its outputs, the 
analog supply must be connected between the AVDD and AVSS pins. Its relation 
to analog ground is not relevant, so whether the voltages are +5/0 or 
+2.5/-2.5 or +4/-1 or whatever does not affect the output of the ADC, which 
only reports the difference between its "p" and "n" input signals. It only 
affects the range of the inputs, as it cannot measure (p or n) outside the 
analog supply.

Will do (there's a 4.4 V treshold).

True.
