I do very little microphone recording, but when I do, I send a feed

the actual recording I use timemachine which, via jack, is the only
thing connected to the soundcard inputs. The outputs from the soundcard
also go to the headphone amp, so I record while playing back all the
synth stuff (and any previous recordings). Finally I use audacity to
line up the vocal with everything else. In actual fact latency is set
to 5.8mS on my machine but I doubt I'd notice anything if it was higher.

I think it depends on what kind of audio work you
are facing to.
But recording a vocal track could be a little drama, because latencies > 5ms
are really audible and from the headphones/monitor it sounds like singing
within an empty barrel of oil.
In my setup, I think I try to avoid feeding back the vocal to the
headphones whilst recording it at higher latencies (just monitor the
rest of the track). Not very professional, but perfectly workable.
