emacs from git (commit 96e2a7ff0d3501abf360157e830bf5817962922f) shows the following error when trying to play a track with the vlc backend
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument listp 1000000000)

more-efficient and more-consistent (TICKS . HZ) form.
- src/timefns.c: Default to false.
changed the return value (current-time), which bongo cannot handle.
