I'd like to run up to nine soundcards with Jack.

Eight times Expert Sleepers ES-8 via USB
and one RME Madi HDSPe card on a PCIe slot.

In Linux at 96 kilobauds.

I read here
https://jackaudio.org/faq/multiple_devices.html
about clocking issues as each card is run by it's own clock.

Will the asynchronously clocked streams be handled and merged by Jack or is this an ongoing issue?

I imagine, if I'd feed analog outputs of one card into the analog inputs of another, this wouldn't be ideal.
But I am wondering if Jack is handling the asynchronous streams in the software-domain without glitches ect. ?

With a powerful computer is the latency going to rise absurdly high? Any experience with this?


As Jack-Devel-List is dead, I'm asking here.

With best regards,
