Jsut to be fair to Debian:  in my humble experience it's trivial to get a rock-solid
audio setup with jackd, pulseaudio and (lib)alsa applications. I running Debian
testing (the rough equvalent of a non-LTS Ubuntu release) without audio problems
since almost 20 years now. While I did use QJackCtl to manage jackd and jackd
connections (never had a problem with it) I'm currently (appr. last 2 years) using 
Cadence for the same task. With Cadence (rewuires a dbus-enabled jackd) it's
litterally _two_ moseclicks to enable a pulseaudio<->jackd bridge and another
2 clicks to so the same for libalsa<->jackd. I've used (and use) this settup on
dedicated audio workstations with pro class interfaces (mostly RME), mobile recording
laptops of all kinds (old hardware to highclass hardware to RasberryPi class boxes, using 
anything from Arturia AudioFuse to the cheapest usb "soundcards"). Never ever did I 
encounter problems with jackd.
Let me take the opportunity to thank the jack developers for this great piece of software.

 Just my 0.2$,
