Yes, "transport sync" is the right term and

So the rest, my argumentation, is just blah-blah:
indeed.
everything is fine. SMPTE between a Yamaha 4 track
tape recorder and an
Atari ST was good enough to play a synth recorded to the audio tape and
played by the sequencer in unison, without any noticeable delay, even simple
click signals for sync, used by the C64, were able to do this.
almost certainly using MIDI Clock, which is utterly unrelated to SMPTE or MTC.
For people who have better luck than I've got MTC
can sync different
machines to Linux good enough, only SMPTE for some applications is missing,
because video equipment is using SMPTE and not MTC.
then either convince someone to finally write a JACK client that does
the conversion between SMPTE and JACK Transport, or alternatively buy
a SMPTE<->MTC converter box. they don't cost much (less than someone
should get paid to write that client, thats for sure).
