You'll gain access to more accurate and precise timings. Audio applications supposedly to benefit from it.

Are audio apps the only that benefits from RTC support?

If you were to convince me to enable it in my kernel, what arguments would you use? I use my gentoo mostly for internet and gaming, sometimes OpenOffice...
