I use as well a script to handle pulse and jack. As well I notice the 
un-clean behave of the pulse-sink when switched while a client is 
running. I noticed that switch the module-jack-source twice with a 
timeout between, makes it work stable.
As well I save my used Default sink before switch to jack, and reuse it 
when I switch jack of.
This works for me absolute stable. Additional option in the script is, 
to suspend pulse if you would run a session without pulse enabled.
Introduction to the script is here:
