Did you have a look at http://ltcsmpte.sf.net/  ? - well not the
web-page but the code there ;)

not trivial - libltcsmpte allows you to decode or encode the SMPTE
timecode(s) for chunks of audio-data.

There's a small example client that uses jack-audio-in-ports to
read/display LTC/SMPTE in real-time and generate LTC from jack-transport
(the latency compensation of the latter is a bit quirky)

Synchronizing jack-transport to incoming LTC is as good as impossible.

Eventually I've used ltcsmpte to read the first LTC/SMPTE from a file
and applied this as an offset for the corresponding A/V track. - ..but
there's a hacked version of jplay2 that takes an audio-file and a
LTC-file as input and writes time-stretched audio from vari-speed
recorings.. that can be imported into ardour. - It may or mat not be too
hard to write a plugin that reads LTC and controls rubberband inside
ardour ?!

so long,
robin
