Finally reading the jackd manpage again (

I've had this option set forever in qjackctl, and
I haven't seen
anything particularly special going on. The digital monitor outputs
that can be mixed via envy24control(1) or
http://mudita24.googlecode.com (see screenshots) are available as
"catpure_11" and "capture_12" whether or not this option is given to
jackd.
I've used both M-audio and RME devices with ALSA + Jack and have never
used this setting. In fact, I was told once (on IRC or maybe on this
list) to not use it if I have hardware than can do zero-latency
monitoring.
PS: likewise what does the "-M, --hwmeter"
option do -- again I don't
see any difference between this being on or off. And how would it know
of the vagaries of the ice1712's metering, the fact that it's a peak
meter registering 0 to -48.1dbFS? I'd imagine other hardware metering
(RME? MOTU) might have have DSP-based RMS metering, and a totally
different architecture than:

Same here... don't see what it actually provides. hdspmixer (and
previously envy24control) is what I use for all of my monitoring
needs. :-)
