Hello Len,
There is barely any software left that uses rtc, most MIDI software uses
the ALSA timers (snd-timer or snd-hrtimer). Just installed Muse and the
version that got installed uses rtc, maybe Rosegarden uses rtc too but
afaik those are the only ones still relying on rtc for their timing.
Most other software that uses ALSA for MIDI get their timing from the
ALSA timers. You
Don't know about others, but Rosegarden gives you a choice of all the
timers it
can find.
MusE tries first RTC and if that doesn't work it uses ALSA. It should be
noted that ALSA can internally be setup to use RTC or HPET as well as
system timer, and maybe other timers.
I won't go in to how that would effect performance either way though.
Regards,
Robert
