I'm the guy who tries to keep that page up-to-date. I use the Digi 96/8 PAD.
I've found the card to work quite well. While it may not have as many
bells and whistles as the Hammerfall series, I've not run into any
problems with it for quite some time. Most issues I had with it have
been fixed for almost 2 years now.
I've run jack with reduced number of periods without any problem.
You're output lookes like you have issues elsewhere though to fix
before worrying about the numer of periods you use. The xruns,
messages about interrupt delays, and driver messages suggest you have
problems that need fixed berfore jack will ever work well, reguardelss
of the number of periods you use.

where does it say this? the digi96/8 is an
entirely different product
(different h/w design, different chipset, different interactions with
the host CPU) from the digi9652, HDSP and HDSP9652 systems. this latter
range is well supported and works exceedingly well on almost all
systems. the digi96/8 has support, but it does not work particularly
well, especially not for low latency work (this is not because of the
driver design (other than the overall way that ALSA works), but because
of the h/w design
I don't know enough to comment on h/w design or driver
design, I just
know I've been able to use JACK with this driver at very low latencies
without X-Runs.
If I can help in providing specific info, let me know. :)
