Still looking for jack. I think once you set Ardour to jackd it starts 
that way next time. Looking at 4.6.0 (old now that 4.7 is realeased) there 
is no way to change the audio back end at startup... but the session can 
not be loaded without the audio back end. So to change to ALSA means start 
with jackd running then go to Window->Audio/midi setup, change the backend 
to ALSA  from there.
