Ok, after looking at what both N900 and N9 Nokia kernels do, I came up 
with the patch bellow. If you are ok with the changes, I'll submit the 
patch as it should. With that patch I tried more than 20 videos of 
different resolutions(including 720p), not a single failure :) . 
Basically it changes the core clock calculation to be done in the same 
way as in the Nokia kernels.

Regards,
Ivo
