FWIW even crappy onboard devices on Linux can be used for duplex audio
production, hence jackd allows to set the periods/buffer ex 2, AFAIK
ASIO isn't able to do this. Of cause, nobody wishes to use an integrated
sound device for his audio studio, hence of a bad sound quality, missing
studio standards such as ADAT, sync output etc., but it's possible to
use such stuff too.
