And this is with what settings in Jack? (frames per period and number of
periods).

So the signal paths would be:
signal -> extra PC
signal -> A/D -> jack -> RTAudio -> RTAudio -> jack -> D/A -> extra PC

Right?

One detail you may not be considering: the A/D / D/A stages will
introduce several milliseconds of extra latency. How much depends on the
chips themselves. 

Did you try connecting directly jack input to output, just to see if
your program (through RTAudio) is doing any extra buffering? 

You may also want to try to use the small Jdelay utility:
