I wouldn't be so fast to assume that all users need an exact playout rate, as people seem to do fine with the 8Kbps playout steps in Cisco IOS. A nerd-knob which expresses user's preference in the accuracy/performance trade-off would be nice. The problem with ethtool is that it's a non-obvious nerd knob. At the least the ethtool documentation should be updated to indicate that activating TSO effects tc accuracy.
