and as a reminder, there is code within JACK now to do this, if you want
an example. it was written by jussi laako. jackd can be told to use the
HPET timer rather than gettimeofday or the cycle counter using the
-"-clock hpet" command line argument.

the code is in JACK SVN, publically accessible at:
