Yes, I was thinking basically of the type of information that a
jack_position_t contains (although all of it is probably not needed).
The BPM value would definitely be needed for effects that want to set
delay times as fractions or multiples of beats, and the number of beats
per bar could be useful for a synth plugin with a builtin arpeggiator.
The actual position information (current bar, beat, frame number) might
not be as necessary, although there probably are situautions where they
could be useful too.

This information could be packed into a struct and a pointer to the
struct could be passed as a fifth parameter to the run_synth()
functions.
