For the versions of Qtractor I used it is true. An issue for me, because
I like to be able to use different latencies, at different work stages.
I'm aware that Ardour's latency compensation is smarter. But IMO it's
important, that Linux users who prefer session managers, at least get
informed about such issues, what ever applications they use.
