I had this idea once to use aubio to implement a 'jackd transport time
sync source', i.e. retrieving the bpm and adjusting the beat so that
jackd-transport aware applications (like hydrogen) can run in sync with
external music.

The idea is to enable easy live use of drum machines, samplers and tempo
aware audio players in e.g. a DJ context. But this could also be used to
automatically create the Tap tempo for delays etc...

I even started to implement this, but some other coding got in the way...

Greets,

Pieter
