It looks like the crystalhd drivers are buggy with newer kernel
releases. I opt for removing the dkms package. I will do this over the
weekend.
Top posting on list and removal announce without valid bug report for Your
claimed issue and any confirmation?
Driver does not behave different from linux 3.2...3.7.1 here, see my posts on
the linux-media list, xbmc people?

Reproducible NULL pointer BUG at
crystalhd-0.0~git20110715.fdd2f19/driver/linux/crystalhd_misc.c:515,
triggered by adobe flash plugin from dmo repo, ffmpeg, mplayer, bino or
other, mostly on heavy ioq usage
or after FETCH_TIMEOUT and/or unclosed driver HANDLEs.
Does the maintainer or somebody on pkg-multimedia plan on fixing this RC
bug? If not I'll consider a NMU removing the dkms package from
crystalhd source.

seem to have left the Broadcom's legacy driver code, focusing on the new
linux-media staging driver, but limited time,
one stated lately on the linux-media/LKML, nothing read from the others.
I could adapt it to new kernel releases the next 2-3 years, but nothing
more, not a experienced kernel driver coder,
no debian package/policy maintaining motivation because I do not use dkms or
debian kernels packages.
If my last patch applies to Your codebase in the debian git repository (mine
is from git.linuxtv.org, according to the
git changelog more advanced in the gstreamer plugin, merge?) You may
consider it
"hotfixed"
and release with known multithreading (gstreamer based transcoders/matroska
demuxers) and PM ACPI S3 issues?
Has not crashed here any more, nor notable side effects with usual playback
use cases, including Totem (gstreamer).
