My system is this way. I have two sound cards - an RME HDSP9652 and an
on-board sound chip. The RME is my main card that drives the external
D/A. It always uses Jack when I'm doing anything serious. (Not often
anymore) All my funky audio needs go through the on-board sound chip.
I have the audio output of the on-board chip plugged into a pair of
inputs on the RME. I can start and stop Jack anytime and Jack can run
at a frequency different than the on-board audio since that chip's
audio is redigitized going into the RME.
Works fine for me. Distribution is Gentoo.
Hope this helps,
Mark
