As others already pointed out: it can. However: I don't think it
compensates for port latency [1]. The start-position of the file
recorded with jack-capture might be off compared to the file exported
from ardour.

[1] A quick `grep` over jack-capture-0.9.61's source does not reveal any
jack_port_get_*latency() calls.

Note that qjackrcd by default waits for the audio-volume to exceed a
given threshold; it is also stereo only.

I was in touch with upstream and qjackrcd got fixed WRT to non-realtime
safe calls in the process callback. It is still a very young project so
give it some leeway; it is shaping up nicely.
