Thanks for all replies,
At least I didn't look for smoothing value changes, but more for initial 
correct bpm values on stable situations.
I solve my issue/mostly/ by adding the event frame time 
(nsec)(1000000000.0 / (sample rate / frame_time)) to clock_gettime. This 
lead to correct bpm values with max ~1bpm offset.

hermann
