This made me have a look at the sources.
Up to ten minutes ago I was believing that a2jmidid used timestamps etc.
to reduce jitter, and that this made it preferable over Jack's -X.
But apparently it doesn't, all events in the same Jack period are
just bunched together. There's even a comment in the source code:
/* -FIX- this should have the frame time of the event, instead of '0': */
So what is the advantage ?
