Kaffeine sets a Kernel buffer in order to store the data received from the TV
card. It creates internally a thread that reads from the buffer. Such thread
should be able to fully read the buffer before the next one arrives, as
otherside packets will be lost. From your description, I suspect that this is
what's happening: something is causing the Kaffeine's thread to be scheduled to
wake too late.

That could happen on some situations:
   - the GPU driver is taking a very long time to display the video;
   - the CPU load is too high;
   - the kernel you're using is on voluntary mode (it was compiled with
preemption is disabled) and some task is holding the CPU for a very long time.

Without logs, we can only guess the cause of the jams. Btw, based on what you
said, we may also need the Xorg (and/or Wayland) logs.

Gnome and Unity are clear: both are window managers. I suspect that, on Ubuntu,
both "profiles" use X11.

I've no idea what your "Ubuntu" profile actually means, but clearly it is doing
something bad.

Perhaps this "Ubuntu" profile is loading an userspace video driver that doesn't
do video acceleration, or perhaps it is starting a process that is keeping the
CPU under a very high load. Do you know if it uses X11 or Wayland?
