I can't help you with your jack problem but I can certainly help with
pulseaudio. Removing pulse can be a big problem because so much is tied
into it now. You can break things that don't even appear to be
related. I just upgraded from Kubuntu 14.04 (Trusty) to 16.04 and, of
course, pulseaudio took over my system and caused me all kinds of
problems with jack, riffstation, and a bunch of other things (I've got
an ICE1712 based sound card and external gear). The easiest and safest
way to disable pulseaudio in Ubuntu is to open a konsole and do the
following:
sudo chmod 400 /usr/bin/pulseaudio
then reboot. No more pulse, no broken packages.
Cheers,
