Ok, that's good to know.  Perhaps it's some difference in the way the
v4l stream is read and the frames are dequeued (mmap versus read(),
etc).

Ok, well that's good to know.  I did look at the code and couldn't see
how it could possibly be an endianness bug.

Bear in mind that the analog support for the 950q is still relatively
new, and its entirely possible there are some application specific
bugs to be worked out as there is more testing.

Could you please describe in more detail the *exact* configuration you
are attempting, including the versions of the applications you are
using and command line arguments you are passing.  If I can reproduce
the issue here then I can probably debug it much faster.

Thanks,

Devin
