Live as sync slave has to work better!

Live 5 seems to behave exactly as Live 4 did.

Well, to my ears hear Live 5 does sync up fast enough. Right now I'm running plug-in Augustus Loop as the MIDI clock master.

But I sometimes run into problems when recording Agustus Loop output into a Live audio track. But it's too early to say what's causing that. I have noticed that Live 5's plug-in latency compensation is greyed out from the menu when Live is the sync slave. I have also noticed that Live does only display full BPM values, when run in MIDI clock slave mode. Like if the master says "97,63 BPM" Live says "98" BPM. The strange thing is that it *sounds* correct when listening to both master and slave.

I mentioned this here:

As a result, I downgraded Live's status on my compatibility page:
