you are confusing things here.

its not about wordclocks being in sync. if your wordclocks are in sync.

you dont need alsa_out.
but most likely your wordclocks are not in sync. this means your

soundcards run at different drifing samplerates, and one soundcard will

consume a different amount of samples per jack cycle. but jack is

feeding period samples each cycle.
first try using -q option set to 0 because that will use linear resampling.

reducing the value of the -s option (default 256) will also improve cpu usage.

but might yield worse performance of the algorithm. it depends a bit on

the soundcards you are using.
