gnome (not gtk) apps use the following gconf settings for sound output

system/gstreamer/0.10/audio/default/audiosink
system/gstreamer/0.10/audio/default/chataudiosink
system/gstreamer/0.10/audio/default/musicaudiosink

my machines have the first and last of these set to: jackaudiosink
buffer-time=2000000

and as a result all my gnome apps (and firefox too) route audio via
jack. there are other options too.
