Yes you are right. Apology for the misinformation.This is technically not possible. At Windows ASIO drivers operates very close to the hardware in a way that is not possible for ALSA. ALSA has a software layer inbetween already. And is slower in any case. Everything on top of ALSA, Jack or Pipewire, adds even more latency.I use Alsa with very low latency (less than in Windows!)
The curious part is that ALSA with Jack can be faster than pure ALSA. But it cannot be faster than the fastest mode of ALSA plus the Latency that comes with Jack, which is in any case slower than ASIO.
Let's say it is enough for your needs
I have just tested Bitwig on the three systems and in Windows, it seems the lowest latency (not by far though):
Anyway, for the best usage (for me) it is on Mac, as when I switch to YouTube (for example), I can hear the sound normally, but in Linux (Alsa), I must quit Bitwig and in Windows the ASIO driver for Tascam is problematic in Bitwig especially (I must quit Bitwig and run Reaper (or other DAW) to free the sound driver!). Although, it doesn't happen with another two ASIO drivers for another Audio interfaces! I have another glitches with Tascam ASIO driver, but it doesn't occur all the times!
