The basic idea is that if you're hearings pops (xruns) either you need
to run jack with a higher latency, or you need to look at an rt (real
time) kernel.
Low latency is necessary if you are using a midi controller to drive a
synth on the PC, or if you are recording and you need to do software
monitoring.

For an audio program to support jack, the programmers need to use the
jack api. Or if the programs support alsa but not jack, there is an
alsa-jack plugin (or whatever it's called).
