right, and i am not sure but i think for that you have to compile 
audacity from source enabling portaudio-v19 insteed of v18.

for finding out which version you are using now, just start audacity and 
go menu->help.
i suppose that you are running something like 1.2....

here:

Audacity ® 1.3.3-beta (Unicode)

Libmad: Aktiviert
Ogg Vorbis: Aktiviert
LibID3Tag: Aktiviert
FLAC: Deaktiviert
LADSPA: Aktiviert
Libsamplerate: Aktiviert
PortAudio v19
wxWidgets 2.6.3
Programmversion vom: Oct 19 2007
Einstellungs-Ordner:/home/nowhiskey/.audacity-data


..runs fine with jack.

cheers,
