Gents,
Could you please try the attached patch to the cx18 driver to not load
the firmware twice? Things to expect:
1. The first analog capture shouldn't have problems
2. If you unload and reload the cx18 driver, the digital TS will *not*
work until you unload and reload the cx18 driver *another* time
3. *Hopefully* your audio skips will disappear.
4. You will likely still need buffered playback, either with MythTV or
mplayer -cache blah blah blah...

Andy
