I am curious about this question too -- or actually in the more general 
question of "how do you turn MIDI tick-times into seconds?".

As I was writing MIDI-Perl, I thought I understood how this all worked, but 
then I learned that there were tempo-change events, and that seemed really 
hard to think about.  Since I writing a parse and not a sequencer, I 
decided that I could just ignore the whole issue.  But I'm still curious 
about it.
Anyone know how this works?
