Yeah, I almost didn't mention it because I never run alsa, but then
realized it may be something the eca-alsa people would want to know.

I don't see any reason to run eca-alsa. Jack is low latency... can sync
with other programs... use things like QJackCtl as clock... sync to a
program that has a flexible metronome. There's even the shuttle written
for jack that you can use with eca-jack (I haven't tried it though).

I'm sure people have good reasons for running eca-alsa. Maybe I just not
aware of the reasons.

Thanks,
Rocco
