I think the conclusion of various investigations was that it was
the Philips 7116 (the PCI interface on the meteor), not the Natoma,
which caused problems.

speaking of performance, since the Bt848 chip (for which Amancio has
written a driver) is highly programmable, is there a preferred output
format for the grabber to supply data ready for the encoder without
need for copies (or does YUV_PACKED already suffice ?)
