	Ardour does do latency compensation (or maybe it's JACK - anyway, it
works).

	Just buy a card with hardware monitoring (any of the ice1712/envy24
cards - 1010, 1010LT, DSP-2000 C-Port, EWS88MT, Delta 66, Delta 44...). 
Then you can set to 2048 when recording and get no delay in hearing what
you are recording/playing versus what Ardour is playing.  I do this all
the time with my DSP2000.
