[linux-audio-dev] ALSA MIDI Sync

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how to build an ALSA MIDI sequencer that'll
sync with other sequencers. I've looked around but didn't see any
recent information. (The closest hits were a five-year-old page of
Takashi Iwai's, a three-year-old LAD thread with the subject line
"MIDI sync and ALSA sequencer", and a LAU thread from last year,
none of which sounded entirely encouraging.) 

So, my question is, what's the recommended way of synchronizing two
MIDI sequencers these days, using ALSA? Is there any protocol (MTC,
MMC...) that you would recommend so as to be compatible with a large
number of other software packages? Any hints would be appreciated.
Pointers to sample implementations of MIDI sync with ALSA would be
great.
Best,
    Peter
