If you'd like. Not sure what's quotable there though.

That's what pulseaudio is for. One of the reasons I left Ubuntu was that
they didn't have pulseaudio-module-jack, because with that, I have JACK
for audio work and pulse for everything else, feeding into JACK. In my
current distro most just use JACK and its alsa plugin, but you need a
relatively recent alsa to do that well (ie. without the problems you're
experiencing) which I don't think 64studio has.
