                        about clocking issues as each card is run by
                        it's own clock.<br>
                        <br>
                        <strong>Will the asynchronously clocked streams
                          be handled and merged by Jack or is this an
                          ongoing issue?
                        </strong><br>
                        <br>
                        I imagine, if I'd feed analog outputs of one
                        card into the analog inputs of another, this
                        wouldn't be ideal.<br>
                        But I am wondering if Jack is handling the
                        asynchronous streams in the software-domain
                        without glitches ect. ?<br>
                        <br>
                        <strong>With a powerful computer is the latency
                          going to rise absurdly high? Any experience
                          with this?
