completely irrelevant as long as you aren't doing software monitoring

Isn't it important when overdubbing?
Not if you listen to a mix of the reproduced trakcs and the direct
sound (line in) of your instrument. Almost all soundcards allow this,
otherwise use a simple analog mixer for monitoring.
The recorderd track is offset to compensate for latency, Ardour
will do this automagically.
High latency will be a problem if the new track is a software
instrument. But then it's a problem even when just playing
along with other musicians, and not specific to overdubbing.
Thanks, Fons. I'm a bit embarrassed at misunderstanding this for so long,
but every day I learn something new is a day not wasted!
