Yes, correct.

Yes, exactly, see below.

Yeah, I think it's best to work with jack frames as returned by
jack_transport_query().

Yes, I'm writing a jack transport to MTC converter for syncing some
things. It's embarrassingly infantile code at the moment, but I'm
working on it, it's also my first jack program. It displays SMPTE
time in a console at the moment.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jackmtc/

I know there's MTC code in xjadeo (and qtractor or some other DAWs, I
think), but I want a standalone console tool. Admittedly, I haven't
looked at xjadeo code in detail, I'm trying to wrap my head around the
concepts first.

Thanks.
