Right, this helps. We can deduce this does not come from the decompression algorithm since it is the same whether the TV input or the s-video input is selected.
I suspect a tda9887/saa7113 interface problem but just my intuition.
As it works under windows, can you do an usbsnoop (http://www.linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.php/Usbsnoop)
Just open the TV application, let it tune the channel and stop the application immediately in order to have a minimal capture file.

For the audio over USB, in the ancient times I developed a audio extension for usbvision. I don't even know what I did from it. I can look for it if you want. I will need to sweep the dust (compilation errors and so on) but should work.

P.S.: this thread is really hard to follow now... please reply under my answer so that we will be able to read that again :)
