Yep, that's the way to do it.
I did it wrong at first as well..

These values look good to me, just remember that the nicest values
won't help you unless you can get them under heavy load without xruns.
Expect worse numbers from your usb device. I have some measurements
from mine and some other people were so kind to provide some as well,
just need to put them together for a comparison some day.

Yes, this is round-trip latency, just in or just out will be faster
(take half(?) the time).

Jack itself shouldn't really add latency afaik but I'm no expert.

You're welcome, it's a really handy tool (if you are interested in
real, not just low, numbers).
