What is the difference between Xen domain dom0 and domU (for a Xen newb
like me)?

You may wan to try using v4l2-ctl to enumerate the controls (with menu
options) and then changes the card to generate an MPEG2 TS instead of
the default MPEG2 PS.  A TS is more robust to small amounts of data loss
than a PS, so maybe things will be a little better.

Note the CX23418 is very latency sensitive.  If the guest responds too
slowly to CX23418 interrupts, it will miss the CX23418 mailbox payload
data and hence lose video buffer data.  The CX23418 won't wait forever
for the OS driver and will move on. (This is a firmware bug IMO, but
likely considered a required feature if you ask Conexant).
