I presume you've installed the "standard" FFADO from the Ubuntu repo?

I've had trouble with JACK1 and that. I'm currently running JACK2 (version 1.9.6)
from "Frasten"'s PPA.

FFADO from the TangoStudio repo, version 2.0.1 - svn1856.

That combo runs fine, but not at extreme low-lat. (I've always had better experience with JACK 1 for < 10 ms lat)
