Bug Description
The snd-rtctimer module is unavailable on both the generic and real-time Intrepid kernels.
The issue for me is that without this module, Rosegarden cannot use the RTC timer, and fails back on the imprecise (at 250 Hz) system timer. Not good for MIDI.
I have searched both Intrepid and Jaunty for snd-rtctimer.ko (from http://

Thanks Dan. It seems CONFIG_SND_RTCTIMER would need to be enabled. Just adding information below for the kernel team to reference about the Kconfig option:
ogasawara@ yoji:~/ ubuntu- jaunty/ sound/core$ grep -A15 "config SND_RTCTIMER" Kconfig
config SND_RTCTIMER
tristate "RTC Timer support"
depends on RTC
select SND_TIMER

Say Y here to enable RTC timer support for ALSA. ALSA uses
the RTC timer as a precise timing source and maps the RTC
timer to ALSA's timer interface. The ALSA sequencer code also
can use this timing source.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
will be called snd-rtctimer.
Note that this option is exclusive with the new RTC drivers
(CONFIG_ RTC_CLASS) since this requires the old API.
