Audacity uses portaudio and is absolutely unusable for this job.

I'm a bit of a traverso fan, especially because of the developments in
git, so I'd say you could give it a shot. Beware though that the version
debian/ubuntu currently ships is broken, but I'd recommend git anyway.
Its not feature complete yet, but handling jack and internal routing was
greatly improved, and it's pretty much totally qwerty controllable now.
