Wow, that is bizarre. The "doorbell" is usually used so the software
knows that the cpu vs dma race is complete when moving qtds off the qh
- ie dequeueing requests. What you have done is asked the guy doing
the photo finish at the end of a horse race to press the shutter a
little before the horse crosses the line - so the shutter latency will
allow a picture right as the horse crosses the line. Unfortunately,
this (like all races) is affected by the object doing the racing -
horse speed and camera speed are variable!

I believe something else must be wrong.
