Bug#386226: losing interupts, can't play midi files on audigy 2

["Mark J. Small" <msmall@eastlink.ca>]

I'm seeing a very similar thing.  

If I try to play a midi file on my audigy 2, my syslog fills up with

rtc: lost some interrupts at 1024Hz.

Also, I get errors about setting the rtc on bootup.

If I use a homebuilt kernel, and enable CONFIG_HPET_RTC_IRQ for the kernel,
things work just fine.  I can play my midi files, and the RTC gets set in the 
kernel.

Is there any reason NOT to set CONFIG_HPET_RTC_IRQ=y in the kernel?
