Ralf, this advice is out of date.

On any distro you can install the jack-sink modules and PA will gracefully
reconnect to jack when jack is started.

Otherwise you can run "pulseaudio -k" from the commandline to temporarily
disable pulseaudio when you are running jack. In qjackctl this can be
added as a preliminary startup command in the preferences section.
