I think you've walked away with slightly the wrong message here.

The only two servers
worth considering are PulseAudio or JACK and they are quite different.

Hi Rory :)
jackEQ is a mixer for JACK audio clients only, unfortunately some apps don't have JACK
support, OTOH Linux audio studio software should use JACK and AFAIK all common apps do
support JACK audio.
Using jackEQ with compatible audio apps is comparable to analog stand alone audio devices,
e.g. you can connect virtual cables of your hard disk recorder and of another application
to the jackEQ mixer, while jackEQ is connected by virtual cables to the JACK sound
server.
You only need to mix the audio sources by the mixer, as you would do when using analog
equipment.
Again ;) IMO for your purpose using a compressor with a sidechain feature is the best way
to duck music, while listening to the traffic news.
I'm not using sidechain and it might be that this could be an issue for Linux, but
there are some howtos that seem to solve this issue, if there should be an issue,
didn't watch them myself,
