[linux-audio-dev] timesetevent alternative

[Jens M Andreasen]

I would probably lock on to the audio clock, in jack or otherwise, since
this is were it all ends up ultimately.

When the jack_process() gets called, count down the time to wait untill
time is zero or less, in which case you do your midi thing and pick the
next event.
