[LAU] Starting qjackctl with pulse

I'm trying to get pulse and jack to be nice to each other. Running ubuntu
16.10 with cinnamon desktop.

I have a pretty simple system. The result of "aplay -l" shows that my main
card being used is:

 card 1: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 1: ALC892 Digital [ALC892 Digital]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

Of course, since I'm running pulse, aplay -L changes this to:

  pulse
    PulseAudio Sound Server

So, now I *think* I know my default routing. It's just pulse sending stuff
to hw:1,0. Now, of course, pulse doesn't tell me this. It says I'm using
"Analog Stereo Output (unplugged)" from the PulseAudio Volume Control
configuration menu.

Starting up qjackctl I go to settings. There is no pulse driver, so I
select (I think incorrectly!) the alsa driver and HW:PCH,1 and start jack.

It appears that it's started and running.

Back to the terminal and try to play a file using aplay. Hmmm ... no output!

Back to pulse volume ctl. Input Devices shows a jack port. But, no output.

I really don't understand this at all. Help. Please.
