This means that some packet to be received from the device is (or
appears to be) missing.  In theory, this is supposed to happen only when
noise on the cable has corrupted the signal, but this might be a problem
with this device's firmware.

Does this device (with this cable) work in Windows or OS X?


At the moment, a missing packet results in the driver just stopping the
stream.  There would be better ways to handle this, but I haven't yet
found the time to implement this.
