Maybe not addressing all six frame buffers correctly.
I looked around similar offsets to the range of buffers we saw in the ipl getimepath 0 results, and I found 16 buffers with live data, a few before the starting buffer shown in the 656x480 P2 pipeline, and several after. I tried filling all of them but still have a flicker. I'm not going to dwell on that issue though---pretty neat to have a histogram regardless, thanks to @0dan0 !

Sorry ; It's Qp.

Qp can't affect this, as this is a encoder value that is ramps too, the first frames are always encoded at QP 25 (or similar). The jitter starts immediately, well before any Qp change is applied. Is just the randomness of these units. I do have some leads on detecting this failure, but adding type D support is taking priority.
