This is due to use of High Precision Event Timer on grml, the future replacement for the RTC periodic timer functionality¹. Quoting http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/man/en/mplayer.1.html: ,---- | -rtc (RTC only) | | Useless with modern Linux kernels configured for desktop use as they | already wake up the process with similar accuracy when using normal | timed sleep. `---- So as far as I understand you don't need the rtc-mechanism in mplayer nowadays. Check whether mplayer's option -nortc changes anything for you, but AFAICS just ignoring the rtc_irqp_set-message should work as well. ;) ¹ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Precision_Event_Timer http://www.intel.com/hardwaredesign/hpetspec.htm regards, -mika- -- You like grml?
