83 * If you run mplayer as root, or set userid root it will use your pc's internal
84 realtime clockgenerator for syncing. (If your kernel supports it (It's
85 located in character devices and called "Enhanced realtime clock support")).
86 Some people report that this has improved playback (which it should), but
87 others have had problems with it. You will have to experiment yourself with
88 this to find your optimum setup.
