[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH] Precise timer for Darwin

[Dan Christiansen]

Hi,

Attached below is a replacement for timer-macosx.c that uses precise 
kernel-space timing. The timer routines themselves report to be 
accurate by 20-30us (mostly a bit late) when not preempted. (If the 
task is preempted, they can be up to 20-30ms or more late.) I'd 
consider it accurate enough ;)

These timers don't use any Mac OS X specific API, so they should also 
work on a raw Darwin install. I suggest that timer-macosx.c is renamed 
to timer-darwin.c and that the attached patch is applied to 
osdep/Makefile is applied to reflect this.

Please note that unlike the accurate Linux timers, there is no need for 
tweaking or super user privileges :)
