That seems to contradict even my admittedly basic
understanding of how
digital audio devices work. Mixing unsynced devices for simultaneous I/O is
asking for trouble. JACK has no inbuilt capacity for synchronizing devices,
so you will get clock drift and as far as I know potential sample
misalignment between what you are listening to and what you are recording.
It's perfectly possible, and without any signficant loss of quality.
Jack is configured to use one of the cards. The others become clients,
and their signals are resampled to match the rate of the 'master' card.
Zita-ajbridge will do this with a constant and repeatable latency. This
is also reported to Jack, so smart applications can compensate for it.
Remaining delay variations will be around a microsecond (with decent HW)
and be very slow.
