The bug mentioned below is not consistent with the configuration shown
above though. The above configuration would normally be used with jackd
and not jackdbus.

Or add:
  pasuspender sleep 1 &
to qjackctl as the "Execute script on Startup"
You would probably have to log out and in to make sure both jackdbus and

I am told the bug is that pulse releases the device with one hand and then
noticed the device is free with the other and so picks it up again. There
is a fix in, but I don't know how long it will take before it shows up in
release.
