Wow, bummer. Ya know, there *is* another old timer which MusE supports: Ye olde RTC Clock. When you start MusE (possibly with debug messages), do you see any messages about the RTC clock? Permission denied? I haven't gotten the RTC clock to work for a long time but I think Robert wrote some info about poking the /proc tree to make it work. Try the README. My early tests showed only one thing can use the RTC clock at a time, and if you use the Jack ALSA MIDI driver, that's what gets it. But that was long ago, and I have read things have changed radically especially with HP timers. Is that old single-RTC rule still true? I mentioned recently that QTractor has a high-performance timer listed which said basically that it had astronomical accuracy. Many systems have multiple high-performance timers, mine do. Checked it out recently, my proc tree I think, really /nice/ stuff. All we need is a timer driver like that. Really /any/ decent timer, please... In theory it's eh, not too hard to write a driver. Take a look at both our classes RtcTimer and AlsaTimer, which are both based on class Timer. Let's retire (or relegate) that RTC and move forward! Would be cool if we could get it to work on your BSD just by getting RTC to work or making a new HP timer driver, eh?
