Update (RTC Timer problem): MIDI Timer stuck with Alsa 1.0.13

[Ray Heasman <lists@mythral.org>]

Hi,

I posted last week with a bug where my timers wouldn't advance correctly
in the sequencer.

I have found that disabling the "ALSA->RTC Timer" option in the kernel
config fixes the problem.

Is there a better place to report this than here?

Here is the diff between the non-working and working .configs:

4c4
< # Thu Nov 23 17:04:54 2006
---
> # Sun Dec  3 12:04:37 2006
1855,1856c1855
< CONFIG_SND_RTCTIMER=m
< CONFIG_SND_SEQ_RTCTIMER_DEFAULT=y
---
> # CONFIG_SND_RTCTIMER is not set

When the sequencer is broken, /proc/asound/seq/timer has this in it:

Timer for queue 0 : RTC timer
  Period time : 0.000976562
  Skew : 65536 / 65536

When the sequencer works, /proc/asound/seq/timer has this in it:

Timer for queue 0 : system timer
  Period time : 0.001000000
  Skew : 65536 / 65536

Thanks,
Ray
