I'm working on application which does some kind of analyzing media in
a project or sequence. While working on that I may have come to a
point where do have a lak of understanding.
Within the XML an audio node may look like the below:

												<file id="TD26 L016 Gwen">

													<name>TD26 L016 Gwen</name>

													<pathurl>file://localhost/RAID/TDI/TDI-026/026_Lines/
TD26%20L016%20Gwen.wav</pathurl>

													<rate>

														<timebase>30</timebase>

														<ntsc>TRUE</ntsc>

													</rate>

													<duration>674</duration>

													<timecode>

														<rate>

															<timebase>30</timebase>

															<ntsc>TRUE</ntsc>

														</rate>

														<string>03:09:22:25</string>

														<frame>340885</frame>

														<displayformat>NDF</displayformat>

														<source>source</source>

													</timecode>

													<media>

														<audio>

															<samplecharacteristics>

																<samplerate>48000</samplerate>

																<depth>24</depth>

															</samplecharacteristics>

															<channelcount>1</channelcount>

														</audio>

													</media>

												</file>
So the timecode information says that this file is NTSC(True) 30
frames per second NDF. From my understanding there can't be this kind
of TC in FCP as the current handling of 30 NDF is not NTSC - at least
for video. Or is there a hidden handling which do match the options
of current audio HDRs?
It's even more confusing for me if I look at media using 24 frames
per second which won't show the "NTSC" node for the rate:

								<file id="TDI_FULL_OPEN_REVISED">

									<name>TDI_FULL_OPEN_REVISED</name>

									<pathurl>file://localhost/RAID/TDI/TDI%20Final%20Theme/
TDI_FULL_OPEN_REVISED.WAV</pathurl>

									<rate>

										<timebase>24</timebase>

										<ntsc>TRUE</ntsc>

									</rate>

									<duration>1461</duration>

									<timecode>

										<rate>

											<timebase>24</timebase>

										</rate>

										<string>23:58:33:10</string>

										<frame>2071522</frame>

										<displayformat>NDF</displayformat>

										<source>source</source>

									</timecode>

									<media>

										<audio>

											<samplecharacteristics>

												<samplerate>48000</samplerate>

												<depth>24</depth>

											</samplecharacteristics>

											<channelcount>2</channelcount>

										</audio>

									</media>

								</file>
