Audacity is run in pass through mode with internal latency set to 0.
I would like to measure the round trip latency from jack_system (in) to
jack_system (out)
Easy using jack_delay.
1. Measure the round-trip latency of your sound card (with an
external analog loop).
Can I use jack_delay running on a second computer connected to the
external i/o of the first computer to get this value?
2. Measure
jack_delay -> pa_source -> audacity -> pa_sink -> jack_delay.
Does this look reasonable?

If I use ecasound instead of audacity:

3. If pa_source and pa_sink are a single Jack
client (probably not),
subtract one period from the result of (2).
Can you explain that with the data above?
4. Add the two values.
I would like to provide an app for this task. Do you think it would be
worthwhile to extend jack_iodelay for this purpose?
