Throughout the videolan world there has long been known that there is a
problem with the timestamps in the mpeg stream returned by ivtv*. This
was documented to require a workaround by setting vlc's clock-smoothing
parameter very high. One day I updated the ivtv package on my gentoo box
to 0.4.0 and the problem went away. I could not see anything relevant in
the changelogs, so I figured perhaps it was related to the firmware
version used in the gentoo package. Do anyone know anything about this?
Should we change our documentation to recommend a particular firmware
version rather than documenting the workaround?

* Without being the mpeg expert I think the PTS and DTS clocks are
correct while the SCR clock is totally wrong and needs to be ignored to
make sense of the stream.
