Actually it defaults to using timerfd if its enabled in your kernel.... There should be no debate on that, I reviewed that code with tony... If you don¹t have a timerfd enabled kernel it uses the old default soft timer... No you cant tell the difference in there currently with just a show timer command, however that¹s likely to change... Are you running like centos6 or debian squeeze with a stock kernel? Then you likely have timerfd and are using it unless you changed the configs to do something else... Theres always a lot of debate around this, but the fact is, unless you are seeing crappy audio issues, you probably shouldn¹t mess with the timers On 2/13/13 4:31 AM, "Steven Ayre" <steveayre@gmail.com> wrote: > 'show timer' shows all loaded timer modules.
