It should be possible to implement a LTC decoder that turns a audio track into
LTC binary data. If that succeeded and the data is valid then teh track would
very likely have contained LTC.

Do i understand correctly that the tracks are LTC or normal audio not mixed?
or are there tracks that mix audio and LTC and require seperation ?

I think there are several developers who could develop such filter.
I could do it, Iam sure paul could do as well.

thx
