[linux-audio-dev] Re: Midi Clock

Take a look at OSC. It assumes that all computers' clocks are synced via ntp, which is more than adequate to ensure its 64-bit fixed point timestamps are accurate. This makes the programming easier and more reliable, as you only have to program to your local clock. Relying on an Ethernet LAN for heartbeat-style clock syncing is never a good idea, as the MIDI specification describes (you don't see a Roland keyboard assembling a TCP stack on its MIDI port, for example). OSC does not define a transport, so you may use TCP or UDP or whatever you want, as many others do. I highly recommend this as a solution for you.
