Not all of these will use it. mplayer uses it, and I believe someone

timing, I believe the system timer interrupt (irq 0) is used for that.
I just enable it in my tests because it's likely to be enabled on a DAW,
but I don't think any of my current software uses it much.

In practice I have found that if I do not make
the rtc interrupt
non-threaded I get 'rtc: lost some interrupts at 1024 hz' messages when
using mplayer, and xruns in alsa unless i do the same for the sound
card.
Am i correct to assume that it's good to make the RTC IRQ non-threaded
when i want to achieve soft-realtime with any application, not
necessarily with JACK, not necessarily a multimedia app?
