a) There will be stripped down version of Cadecne coming hopefully at
the end of this year. I don't know whether the JACK / Pulseaudio setup
part will remain the same.

b) You *can* use Cadence, just be aware that the Pulseaudio config it
creates and uses may not be the same as when you run Pulseaudio by other
means.

The setup I describe works the same, only it doesn't matter whether
Pulseaudio hat grabbed the audio device before JACK started.

This way, Pulseaudio clients, i.e. your browser, can use your audio
device via Pulseaudio while JACK is not running and Pulseaudio will
access the device directly, but when JACK is started, Pulsesaudio will
be routed to JACK. Normally, the even an already playing audio stream
switches seamlessly from the Pulseaudio audio sink for the device to the
new Pulseaudio JACK sink when JAKC is started.
