I'm just experimenting with new setups of Debian for audio. When

RealtimeConfigQuickScan it triggered a vague recollection of a
discussion (here?) that configuring hpet and rtc timers is no longer
necessary as they are not used any more. Is this true or am I
misremembering?
The wiki guide at
https://wiki.linuxaudio.org/wiki/system_configuration
is still a goldmine for setup but it contains some sections of
which I
am unsure whether they are still applicable, including the HW
timers bit.
Hmm...doing similar, but, I can't get the cpu frequency to stay set
between boots...
I get around that by using Liquorix kernel which I think is hard coded
to use performance governor. The wiki doesn't mention what to do if
scaling driver is intel_pstate although from reading it's possible to
disable that and load acpi-cpufreq scaling driver instead which is
needed to be able to set the governor to performance AFAIK. There are
several pertinent questions on StackOverflow discussing that, like -
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53349933/specify-cpu-frequency-as-a-ker…
Back to HW timers, it's trivial to set them as explained in the wiki,
but I'm just wondering if they are actually still used?
