Darn! I was thinking something more along the line of an API that could handle song tags, to time-stamp the start of a new track playing into or out-of a jack port. I guess I'm back to using MIDI sysex or maybe a unix socket. It doesn't look like the metadata API would work well for noticing and with time-stamping changes.

Metadata support? Wow... I really want that for my application. That's a
huge problem solver. Where can I find proposed API info?
The metadata API has been in existence for a couple of years already in
JACK 1:
http://jackaudio.org/api/group__Metadata.html
But unfortunately not many people know about it (I only was made aware
of it a couple of months ago), maybe in part because the only
non-technical description of it was lost, when the jackaudio.org web
site was compromised and then completely replaced a few years ago. I
restored a page about the topic from the old web site to the curernt
Github wiki a few weeks ago:
