Really neat device it is. You can hold it in your hand like a stage mike 
  without noise.

What I did is configure jack to use hw:0 (internal sound card) as the 
output device and hw:1 (the Samson) as input device (have a look in the 
QJactCtl options). I also set one input channel and two output channels 
to avoid confusion. (As philicordia kindly pointed out, the second 
channel on the Samson is a slightly less amplified version of the first, 
and is there simply because it was easier and cheaper to keep it in).

Lowest latency I could go was 2/512, 2/1024 with real time effects.
