jack_delay is a small command line JACK app you can use to measure the latency of your sound card. It uses a phase measurements on a set of tones to measure the delay from the output to the input. Accuracy is about 1/1000 of a sample. This requires jack-audio-connection-kit, version 0.120 or greater (the one on SlackBuilds.org is fine, but if you got your JACK from a different source, make sure it's new enough, or replace it with the SBo version). Definitely read the docs in /usr/doc/jack_delay-$VERSION/README to understand how to use this.
