[LAU] jack, pulse = confusion, at least for me

[Ralf Mardorf]

As already pointed out earlier, when you randomly replied off-list, in
my experiences it's easier to use just jackd without anything else [1].

    If I understand correctly, if you want system sound to go to jack,
    you need a some bridge, a2j, pulse, etc. not matter what jack you
    use.

Yesno, see

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ apropos a2j
a2j (1)              - Wrapper script to simulate a2jmidid's non-DBUS behaviour though a2jmidid actually being...
a2j_control (1)      - utility to control a2jmidid daemon
a2jmidi_bridge (1)   - static bridge with one ALSA playback port and one JACK MIDI input port
a2jmidid (1)         - JACK MIDI daemon for ALSA MIDI
zita-a2j (1)         - Use ALSA device as a Jack client, with resampling.

Also consider to take a look at the JACK FAQ:
"How can I play audio from …. via JACK?" - http://www.jackaudio.org/faq/

    Hi,

    was it intended to sent the reply off-list?

    IMO it's less complicated without jackdbus and pulseaudio. YMMV!

    Good luck!
