[pulseaudio-discuss] [PulseAudio-Discuss] PulseAudio System Timer Requirements

[Vallabha Hampiholi]

Dear Experts,

What is PulseAudio's requirements from a system timer perspective?

cat /proc/timer_list

gives me following information. Let me know if it suffices PA's requirement.
I see that the resolution available is 1/100th of a second.
