Please, no musical time events when the transport is stopped... if the
streaming session keeps going, the last tempo is honoured.
Unfortunately this means that we can't use the optimization for plugin
developers where they get an event automatically at "musically
interesting" times... unless the host simply provides tempo and
discontinuity / sync points, and the services layer provides a way for
plug developers to be notified at musically interesting times.
