and its quite possibly not necessary, with an asound.conf like this (set your 32 bit apps to use ALSA):

(As stolen from the ALSA FAQ):

pcm.!default {
         type plug
        slave { pcm "jack" }
}

pcm.jack {
         type jack
         playback_ports {
               0 alsa_pcm:playback_1
               1 alsa_pcm:playback_2
        }
        capture_ports {
                0 alsa_pcm:capture_1
                1 alsa_pcm:capture_2
        }
}
