If this is correct, Patrick Shirkey should update his page at

http://linux-audio.com/jack/

Quote:

    p affects input latency: how long from when a piece of data
    arrives at the audio interface connectors until user space
    software can use it?

    p*n affects output latency: how long from when a piece of
    data is delivered by user space data until it leaves the
    audio interface connectors?

    Roundtrip latency is combination of these two.
