-nortc is now the default, document -rtc instead. Change the description
of -rtc and -softsleep.

+Turns on usage of the Linux RTC (realtime clock \- /dev/\:rtc) as timing
 mechanism.
+This wakes up the process every 1/1024 seconds to check the current time.
+Useless with modern Linux kernels configured for desktop use as they already
+wake up the process with similar accuracy when using normal timed sleep.

-Use high-quality software timers instead of the RTC.
-As precise as the RTC without requiring special privileges.
+Time frames by repeatedly checking the current time instead of asking the
+kernel to wake up MPlayer at the correct time.
+Useful if your kernel timing is imprecise and you cannot use the RTC either.
 Comes at the price of higher CPU consumption.
