[linux-dvb] accelerated system clock while capturing DVB

[Mark deJong]

Hello,
I'm having a strange problem where my system clock is accelerated to
about twice its normal clock speed when capturing DVB content using
the cx88_dvb modules. Things are fine for about a day but then it
speeds up without warning. The problem only occurs when capturing the
mpeg stream, such as 'cat /dev/v4l/video0 > /dev/null' when I stop the
capture, the clock is fine, but has to be reset. Rebooting fixes the
problem but it reappears within 24 hours.

I'm using linuxtv/dvb cvs with the Dvico Fusion 5 Gold Card. I have
updated the tree numerous times hoping that this would fix itself, but
no luck. The following is my current mod list.

Not entirely sure yet but I think the following gets logged in
/var/log/messages around the time when the problem starts. I have yet
to verify but I figure I'd throw it in just in case this is a known
issue.

Nov 20 21:00:03 madtv cx88[0]/2: cx8802_restart_queue
Nov 20 21:00:03 madtv cx88[0]/2: cx8802_restart_queue: queue is empty
Nov 20 21:00:04 madtv cx88[0]/2: queue is empty - first active

Nov 20 21:00:04 madtv cx88[0]/2: [e85e5a80/0] cx8802_buf_queue - first active

Any help would be appreciated! Let me know what I could offer to
narrow down the problem.

Thanks!
