do I need jackd?

["H.S." <hs.samix@gmail.com>]

Hello,

Do I need jackd on a computer which is recording output from an audio 
mixer? Currently the output of the mixer is being fed to the line-in of 
the computer's sound card and audacity is being used to record the 
audio. Seems to be working fine. I have also tried to playback the audio 
while it is being recorded and this seems to have had no ill effects 
either. Now, do I stand to gain anything by installing jackd in this 
scenario?
