Hi Jeremy,

The reasons I chose Jack were that it looked the more capable system and 
because I had memories of a friend of mine getting frustrated and very 
angry (sometime ago) because PulseAudio didn't work.
Apparently the last issue has been solved, and PulseAudio may be able to 
do the job too. I don't know. It might as well be just as problematic to 
set-up.

cheers, Theo
