my thought was that i could avoid this by actually
emitting SMPTE
itself, which is an audio stream, and thus can be generated with
perfect sample accuracy as we go. this can then allow people with
equipment that can read a SMPTE signal and/or convert it to MTC to get
their devices to lock to Ardour's timecode, rather than respond to it.
that sounds like a good idea. anyway, my SMPTEDecoder is only a decoder,
as it's name kinda suggest. I did write an encoder as well, though I have
no idea where I left that code. That's more than 6 years ago. Anyway,
encoding is be a lot easier than decoding. But if you want I can look
for the code (don't hold your breath though)
