With jack, yes. Although there are programs that communicate with jack through 
buffers, so they will have a different latency depending on their internal 
buffers. But that will affect only that particular program.


Qjackctl may give only the one way latency, that is proportional to the output 
buffer size. I am not sure, it may also give total latency.

In the help files of pd there is a latency test patch. (I think it is in the 
extra dirctory somewhere) You have to connect you output to your input of 
your soundcard and it will give a rough estimate of the latency.
