Thanks a bunch. :) Attached is another suggested patch against the 
current trunk (r2660) to make qtractor send an MMC locate after jumping 
back to the beginning of a loop. It's not perfect, but I'm posting it 
anyway in case someone may find it useful.

As you can see I handled this in the timer callback of the main form 
which isn't 100% accurate, but I never found it to be off by more than 1 
frame, which I guess is good enough for my purposes. There are surely 
better ways to do this, but I wasn't able to figure that out without 
investing much more time reading the source code. Ideally, this should 
be handled on the spot somewhere in the MIDI engine. I tried to add it 
directly in qtractorMidiOutputThread::process(), but the read-ahead gets 
in the way there, so I couldn't find a proper way to make that work. (Is 
there a way in qtractor to schedule a callback exactly at the *real* 
time when the play head reaches a given position? Then this would be easy.)

There are a few other situations where an MMC locate is still missing, 
specifically after ending a rewind or fast-forward, but I have no idea 
how to fix this without diving into the qtractor sources much more than 
I did. :(

Cheers,
Albert
