Mike,

Sorry, I haven't followed this thread and must surely have missed the 
essence of your problem, but I thought I'd interject that running the 
CCRMA Fedora Core QJackCtl, Ardour, and Audacity on my Dell 470 with an 
Audigy2 sound card, I do not experience any problem running them both at 
the same time. 

I can jump back and forth between Ardour and Audacity and play them 
alternately or or even simultaneously.  This is without selecting 
anything at all - just run and start Jack with QJackCtl, run Ardour and 
load a session, run Audacity and load a file, and have at it.

So, if this comment is irrelevant ignore it, but from my experience I 
don't see your problem.
