Well, that sounds like a cool little project for JavaSound, which is
finally (with the help of the new tritonus jars) getting decent enough to
be usable under linux. I'm swamped with work today, but that sounds like
something fun to do this weekend.
Usually I use a sequencer metronome, the one in Jazz++ is good, but a
standalone metronome would be better.

Greetings:
Yesterday I wanted to practice with a metronome, so I decided to
download one of the listings from the Linux Soundapps pages. Alas, I got
no joy:
1. cmetronome's server is unavailable
2. gTick wants to use /dev/sequencer and isn't working for me with ALSA
0.9.0beta10
3. gMetronome is a visual-only metronome and I need sound
So I went looking for something else. I found Metronome on SourceForge,
but its based on gTick and suffers the same poor output. I also found
DiffM, a Java-based metronome that is said to work under Linux, but the
available package only works with MacOS. So I still don't have a
metronome, and I don't feel like compiling Ardour just to use it as a
practice amenity. So, does anyone have a lead to a working software
metronome for Linux ? Does anyone have the sources to cmetronome ? Or is
anyone interested in writing a simple metronome application ?
Back to the hack...
