I believe we're discussing to separate things, that don't necessarily
relate to each other. One topic is [metro]'s precision. It has been
sub-sample precise at least since I started understanding the concept (~
0.40). So I think it is very likely the [metro] in libpd is precise as
well (though I haven't used libpd myself and cannot test).

Then there have been a lot of methods added to [metro] in Pd 0.45. Those
just make it simpler to use it and save the user to do timing
calculations on her/his own. They are just a convenience, but don't
affect [metro]'s precision.
