[MPlayer-DOCS] rtc vs. softsleep

[Sebastian Krämer]

Hi mplayer-folks!

I noticed that there were suggestions to mplayer users that RTC wasn't that 
good at all; that the error message from mplayer about not being able to use 
rtc didn't hurt and should be ignored or even that one is better off without 
rtc.

Me personally didn't ever have any problem with rtc. I set everything up so 
that my non-root user is able to use it, no complain from mplayer.. and no 
CPU issues either. 

Now I'm asking myself if that rtc vs. softsleep thing is important for the 
DOCS. As stated in mplayer's man page, rtc isn't supposed to use more cpu, 
the opposite is (?) the case:

> -softsleep
>  Use high-quality software timers instead of the RTC.  As precise as the RTC
>  without requiring special privileges.  Comes at the  price  of higher CPU
>  consumption.

I was wondering about this weeks ago when I translated the man page, having 
some mplayer-users mails in mind. Just thought it couldn't hurt to start a 
discussion about this. :)

Any opinions?
