Unfortunately no. There's a firmware limit of 63 buffers per stream that we can hand over to the firmware. The current driver code takes the easy way out and stays within that limit. I have a change in mind to provide in-driver management of more than 63 buffers per stream. I also have a plan for checking for when the chip may have less than 63 buffers in it's care and handing back more than just one buffer at a time. I won't get to it until at least a week from now, if not longer. Your only workaround is to avoid running simultaneous analog and digital captures. Closing the MPEG and TS streams will reset the buffer situation for each stream respectively, so occasionally closing and reopening the capture can help stave off the failure (but that stinks).
