Hi all.

My understanding is that ALSA placed a hard-coded limit on the
  snd-hrtimer of around 1024Hz a couple of years ago.

The snd-hrtimer used to be able to be set very high frequencies
  until one day it wouldn't. I contacted ALSA and they told me
  about this new hard-coded limit.

This sent me scrambling to re-order the midi timer preference
  in MusE because it seems the RTC timer is now the only timer
  that can give you anything above 1024Hz.

Have I got this correct?

Tim.
