1. Access to /dev/rtc ; I think you access to write there

2. /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq ; check the content of this
pseudo-file. I don't remember what is it set to by default, by it is too
low for mplayer which wants 1024Hz. I solved this problem by setting it
at startup (e.g. in /etc/rc.d/rc.local or similar) with:

echo 2000 >/proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq

(or equivalent)

"dev.rtc.max-user-freq = 2000" in /etc/sysctl.conf
