Call jack_frame_time() when you get the event, and add one period.
Put the event in a queue, together with this timestamp.

In your jack_process() : set t0 = jack_last_frame_time(), then handle
all events that fall before t0 + period. The sample index for the
event is its timestamp - t0  (or O if this happens to be negative).
