I would add support for monotonic timestamps, too. The NTP drifts are usually
small, so it may make sense to support those timestamps, too. It may be handy
for the synchronization among multiple machines (timing sources).
The timestamp mode should be selected separately than the framing mode.

Perhaps, we should consider to have a fixed header and variable data length
here. For MIDI, the standard messages have only few bytes usually. It would be
better to use this space for the seconds field:
header {
unsigned long long tv_sec;
unsigned int tv_nsec;
unsigned int len;
unsigned char data[0];
};
