<div>Just as an update, I see following when invoking the server,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>N: alsa-util.c: Disabling timer-based scheduling because high-resolution timers are not available from the kernel.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>How will this affect the system?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I also experienced a strange behaviour. When invoking two gst launches with pulsesink, pulseaudio server shutdown.</div>
<div> </div>

<div>Dear Experts,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>What is PulseAudio's requirements from a system timer perspective?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>cat /proc/timer_list</div>
<div> </div>
<div>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.</div>
