Based on explanations on jackit-devel and lad, deferred play basicly means
start playing as soon as you are ready (i.e. after you've seeked to the
correct position). In many examples 'deferred-play' is preceded by a
'locate' command. It's unclear whether at least one locate is required, or
other restrictions apply to use of 'deferred-play'. I unfortunately don't
have any MIDI gear that understands incoming MMC. My Rm1x can send MMC,
but that's about it. :(
