[pulseaudio-discuss] [PATCH] use CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE to reduce the system call

[Deng Zhenrong]

According to the description below:

        http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/7/17/258

There are two benefits:
a) it doesn't need to access the hardware.
b) avoid the syscall by using vdso clock_gettime().

The cons is the CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE returns the time at the last
tick.
