Please note: I wasn't against providing a time sync. I was against it
being based on SMTPE. "current frame" is much better than SMPTE, which
is low resolution, and suffers from being dependent on a
frames-per-second setting that has no connection with sample rate or
any other audio feature.

Welcome to MAIA. Too bad it doesn't exist.
