Ardour syncs to MTC, which is just re-encoded

by a company that specializes in timecode sync hardware that it syncs
faster and more accurately than any other product in the market place.
Its not technically hard to sync to SMPTE itself, but nobody has had
the incentive to do the work. I'd be happy to consider doing it as a
paid project - it would probably be about 4-8 hours work.
If it'll sync to MTC then we're good.
Not necessarily. I have a JL Cooper box that does
bi-directional
conversion between LTC and MTC.
Yup, and they're not too much money. As long as it can sync to
something. Awesome.
Has it even been reported to the bug tracker? Note
that Harrisons
XDubber is built around this functionality, and they tend to beat this
stuff to death. I've heard no reports of problems with punch in until
Fons bought it up on this mailing in. There is one vaguely related
report from sometime in 2007 with version 2.0, and that was believed
to be fixed (it was actually a crashing bug).
I learned about this from Fons. I haven't personally experienced it.
I'm just looking forward to having another choice other than the
two-inch machine in the studio where I work. :-)
