Speed optimizations (runs twise as fast) and bugfix (wrong cutoff frequency buffer over run noise and garbeled output when wrong input format)

/*
  Video 4 Linux input

  (C) Alex Beregszaszi <[e-mail]>
  
  Some ideas are based on xawtv/libng's grab-v4l.c written by
    Gerd Knorr <[e-mail]>

  Multithreading, a/v sync and native ALSA support by
    Jindrich Makovicka <[e-mail]>

  CODE IS UNDER DEVELOPMENT, NO FEATURE REQUESTS PLEASE!
