it's a driver/application problem, not an os problem. i had the same problem with my imic in os 9 until i upgraded the driver, the new version has no delay, the old one drove me nuts trying to sample things off of video tape because it lagged the video by nearly a second. hopefully whoever makes your' multitrack hardware will solve the problem, but it's their problem to solve, not a feature/flaw of the os. my imic is on usb, and through a hub, with the new driver i can't detect any latency. i too assumed at first it was a usb defect, but it's all in how the driver uses the usb.
