We want this as well (to allow MTC and MIDI Clock sync if nothing

I guess it makes sense to pass it in with process().

So time starts
at some point decided by the host. Does the host pass the
current timestamp to process(), so plugins know what time it is? I assume
that if the host loops, or the user jumps back in song-position, time does
not jump with it, it just keeps on ticking?
I guess my only question is how do plugins know what time it is now?
in VST and JACK, its done with a function call that retrieves a struct
containing current time info, including both transport, sample and musical
positions, amongst other things.
