I think it's like

h/w <-> alsa <-> jack <-> ardour etc (audio apps)
                       <-> pulseaudio <-> flash
                                      <-> system sounds etc

When I tried this (must be over a year ago now) you could load and 
unload the jack backend of pulseaudio while it kept running, but you had 
to do this by hand. I believe there has been some work to automate this 
(i.e. when you start jack it automatically becomes the backend of 
pulseaudio). Don't know if this already works.

Hope that helps.
