the problem I have is the frequency of the lines it outputs.
Has to be a better way.
All that jack_showwtime does is that itt calls jack_transport_query()
and formats the returned struct:

If you are writing C, why not use the JACK API directly?

Thanks for the thoughts and links Chris, but I struggle to write C++
and that's with the great help of Qt Creator. Moving around a large
music file with jack_transport is so much better than what I had
before and showtime is tamed a bit with the solution I was given on
Stack Overflow.
But, looking at showtime.c I wonder if I could modify it to print just
the first value on the line and then sleep for a while. Would it build
somewhere under ~/ and work?

Thanks again, John.
