FWIW, libltcsmpte.sf.net includes two tools in the example-code section
that create MTC (both ALSA-MIDI:jack2amidi as well as JACK-MIDI:
jack2jmidi) from jack-transport:
https://ltcsmpte.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ltcsmpte/ltc2amidi/trunk/

They are - however - skipping frames if the JACK period-size large.
