There is no additional layer of buffering when using Jack1, or Jack2
with the -S option. Latency will be exactly the same as when using
ALSA directly.
Also I'd be inclined to run a distro that
doesn't have
any other unnecessary stuff. i.e. no SystemD and no pulseaudio.
KISS principle.
That is good advice. Systemd won't affect audio performance,
but pulseaudio certainly does.
