It's likely a system level issue.  Is there any device sharing the same
PCI interrupt line as the CX23416 with a linux driver attached to it.

$ cat /proc/interrupts

If ivtv is sharing an interrupt with a linux device driver that doesn't
always respond promptly, that would be a source of dropped buffers.

That's just a first guess.  There could be other factors.

OK.

1. Blacklist/unload any module that's sharing the PCI interrupt with the
CX23416

or

2. Move the CX23416 card to another slot so that it gets a different
interrupt line.

Yes, that was my plan for today.

I also wanted to look at the WM8379 configuration today.

Unfortunately my wife just informed my that we have a non-trivial amount
of water leaking in the laundry room, so I'll likely be spending the day
fixing whatever is broken.
