running the RTC at 8kHz causes very appreciable system load. thats why
the hard/firm timers patch is so much better: interrupts generated
when needed, instead of continuously.

assuming you *have* MIDI clock :) i need to add this to the TODO list
for Ardour. since it has tempo information, it can output this too.
