For video studios I guess SMPTE is the better choice.
When I was working
with SMPTE I never had any trouble because of sync, it was accurate enough.
It would be clever to use JACK transport internal Linux machines, but to
have the option to sync any equipment by SMPTE.
I could imagine a 'bridge' between SMPTE and Jack: you could have a Jack
timebase client broadcasting an SMPTE track, or a Jack timebase master
listening to an SMPTE track and keeping the Jack applications in sync with
it.
jackctlmmc.sf.net seems to do something similar for some MIDI timing.
Beware I might be talking rubbish here though, I've never actually used
SMPTE nor MMC :)
