there are 2 possible ways to provide a monitor mix:
1) use zero latency monitoring and add the prerecorded material
2) collect the input signal and mix with the prerecorded material
1) will cause there to be a delay between the direct monitored signal
and the existing material, even though the recording itself will be
perfectly in sync.
2) will cause there to be a delay between signal generation by the talent
and it being audible in the monitor mix.
In both cases, we'd like the delay to be as small as possible. So i
basically retract what I said about it not really mattering. OK?

Yes. We have frames-per-interrupt to process all the data associated
with a given interrupt. Every client has to be finished by the time
the deadline is reached, and they do not run in parallel (left as an
exercise for the overzealous jack-dev member).
