You don't want to run jamin with low latency.
</jedi mind trick>

Actually you can't really run jamin at low latency, because the math involved 
to do the eq and the cross-over adds at least 10ms. And there is a _lot_ of 
math involved, so jamin has always been a cpu-hog. And will always be. After 
all its a mastering-tool, not a live-usable effect...
Normally one would create a new session with the stero-exports from all the 
songs and route that through jamin. No need for low-latency and not much cpu 
used by ardour which leaves all the cycles for jamin.

And Zyn (the original) is not realtime-save either. Don't expect miracles 
there.

And don't expect miracles from the Intel-HDA. Except for the name there is 
nothing really high about these devices. Better add your SB to that machine 
to get quality.
Or invest the next lunch money for a real high-quality device.

Have fun,

Arnold
