[Bug 139949] Re: use modern hrtimers
It seems that this has already been done. Despite what the docs
indicate, the default currently is not to use the rtc, and no need for
it.
** Changed in: mplayer (Ubuntu)
Status: Triaged => Fix Released

Title:
use modern hrtimers
Status in MPlayer: a versatile and fast multimedia player:
Unknown
Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV:
Fix Released
Status in “mplayer” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Mplayer prefers to use the old /dev/rtc device to generate high
resolution interrupts for it to wait on for timing purposes. This
interface can only be used by a single task on the system and is
wasteful of cpu and power. When this is not available, or not
configured to allow setting 1024 interrupts per second ( it isn't by
default ), it falls back to wasteful busy waiting. It needs patched
to use modern posix timers that can use the modern tickless and HPET
kernel features to allow the cpu to remain in deep low power state
until the exact time requested.
