I haven't tried it, but I've been thinking
about getting a USB
microphone too. Remember that JACK can only handle one audio device, so
it's probably not completely trivial to record from an USB microphone
(which is a separate audio device) and for example output to another
soundcard using JACK.
Which brings up something I have had to deal with a fair amount lately.
Is there a good way to handle multiple cards in Jack?
I was thinking of looking at my alsa config to link the two cards there,
but then if I did that would Jack recognize that setup? Or would it
only have the option of one card or the other?
