I don't think that's really necessary anymore as almost everything in
Linux audio land that needs a high resolution timer uses the snd-hrtimer
kernel module these days which doesn't rely on this kernel setting.
Correct me if I'm wrong though, timers have always been a blind spot in
my understanding of how the kernel works with regard to real-time audio.

Hi all.
My understanding is that ALSA placed a hard-coded limit on the
snd-hrtimer of around 1024Hz a couple of years ago.
The snd-hrtimer used to be able to be set very high frequencies
until one day it wouldn't. I contacted ALSA and they told me
about this new hard-coded limit.
This sent me scrambling to re-order the midi timer preference
in MusE because it seems the RTC timer is now the only timer
that can give you anything above 1024Hz.
Have I got this correct?
Tim.
