gr-fosphor CL_INVALID_VALUE in clEnqueueFillBuffer call

That's really weird indeed. Although I've seen it before. Can't
remember exactly what it was though ...

Watchout that CL 1.2 might not be supported by NVidia's driver and so
it might use the fallback path defined in cl_compat.c

So, there is two way that mem_spectrum can be initialized depending on
wether CL/GL sharing is active or not.
Look into cl_init_buffers_gl and cl_init_buffers_nogl basically.

But I've seen drivers do things that are not spec compliant
unfortunately ... and other than trying random stuff to see exactly
what they don't like, I'm not sure what to do.
