I don't see any need for PulseAudio even for ordinary desktop work. The
fact that Skype doesn't work with JACK tells me more about Skype's poor
programming than it does about any "need" for Pulse Audio.

I'm going to have to disagree here. falktx,
the guy behind KXStudio, has
written a very useful script called pulse-jack that configures Pulseaudio
automatically to work with Jack. I have found this to work better and
require much less configuration than alsa-jack and allows me to use Skype
and Google Voice Chat for my podcast. I also use Torben's Flash Jack driver
and this setup doesn't interfere with pulseaudio or jack.
it is useful only if you really want pulseaudio, or if you really need
skype. For me alsa/jack works very nice and no I had zero work to
configure.
The fact is that Pulseaudio is winning the widest
adoption and thanks to the
pulse-jack script Pulseaudio works very well with jack.
well, that's not a strong argument for pro audio under linux, maybe
true for desktop on ubuntu. I really see no point installing
pulseaudio at all, unless cases like yours.
