I can't speak for the OP, I neither need Firefox with jackd support,
nor do I need pulseaudio. To make music I need jackd, for anything else
I need plain alsa, resp. most of the times I even don't need plain
alsa, but just the bell, printf "\a". However, jackd support is a nice
feature. To run two sound servers instead IMO is absurd.

I don't have pulseaudio installed 1. because it gains me absolutely
nothing and 2. for historical reasons, it did cause endless trouble
when it was installed and upstream was ignorant and scornful. Nowadays
pulseaudio might cause no issues anymore, but then again, why should I
run something that I don't need?
