Ubuntu sans Pulseaudio is a pain to get working. You'd probably have
better luck getting nted to run on pulseaudio.

A quick search reveals

Having never used nted before, I can't really comment much, but wouldn't
using JACK solve things, since pulseaudio now plays quite well with jack
(jackdmp, not jack 0.118 or whatever they're on now for jack1).
