More things I've tried. I set the max-user-freq to 1024 but that didn't 
help since as far as i can gather xine does not use the hardware RTC 
for timing. I also increased the video buffers in xine from 500 to 1000 
w/o an effect. I tried watching a movie with subtitles instead of 
Closed Captions and still can see the picture jump now and then.

I suppose the problem could be in the tvtime deinterlacing. I'll try 
watching a movie with deinterlace disabled and see if I can see the 
same problem. But how do I get debug output from tvtime? As far as I 
can see verbose=3 or --bug-report don't show tvtime debug output.
