I am not an expert on USB driver / kernel implementation, but measurements
show that the timing of jack callbacks using USB sound cards is not regular.
When calculating period time histograms I usually get two or three peaks,
only on rare occasions (e.g., 1ms block sizes, but not with all sound cards)
only a single peak. Often, none of the peaks is related to a 1 ms grid.

Did some test here, results at

Thanks, nice plots!

I can reproduce (more or less) the plots with Audient EVO16 and jack.

When I use period sizes below 1ms, I get this:

Here the clusters are at 0.5 ms and 0.75 ms. When I zoom in I see a pattern of 0.75, 0.75, 0.5, 0.75, 0.75, 0.5, and so on. So again on the 1 ms grid (every 3 callbacks), but since the round-trip delay is smaller than for P = 48, I guess that input and output blocks are not time-aligned.

Best,

Giso
