alsa rtctimer not compiled when having rtc as a module

[root]

Hello,

I noticed that the alsa rtctimer is not compiled when you have
the RTC in your kernel as a module. The problem is in 
alsa-kernel/core/Makefile, where CONFIG_RTC is tested for y
and not for m.

talking about this.. if alsa uses RTC, then i cant use it on other programs while alsa does? are we talking /dev/rtc? (int 8)

It's right, access to RTC timer is exclusive, but you can still use ALSA 
timer API to access RTC timer.

Ahh that's fine then. I just hope ALSA doesnt suffer from the horrible
timer inconsistence problems i experienced with the OSS timers, which i couldnt keep in tempo. I'll give it a try, thanks!!
