FWIW, I think I was the one to implement this reporting in strace:
http://cvsweb.openwall.com/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/Owl/packages/strace/Attic/strace-20020608-owl-ioctl.diff?rev=1.1;content-type=text%2Fx-cvsweb-markup
(and this was later upstreamed), specifically because of the historical
mistake you describe.
IIRC, strace would say simply SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE before this fix, even
though in most programs TCGETS was meant.
It's nice that you're trying to deal with another aspect of this issue
now... but not so nice that it exists in the first place.
