The PulseAudio sink for Jack works, but is unreliable on a laptop

(without suspend), it is solid enough.
I tried the method described here:
http://alsa.opensrc.org/Jack_and_Loopback_device_as_Alsa-to-Jack_bridge
It doesn't work for me; there's interruptions in the sound with Chrome,
and it's worse with Firefox (there's echoes...)
Can you share your method? Is the zita adapter required?
One thing I need is multi-channel support (up to 8).

Thanks Marc - I got it working with these links;
installing the
pulseaudio-module-jack package mentioned in the first link, then
preparing the scripts launched by qjackctl in the second. Pretty
sure that's what I did. I also used the .asoundrc as given in my
original post.
I was just faced with this challenge myself (don't ask).
I found that switching sinks with PulseAudio was unreliable. I opted
to use the ALSA loopback device combined with Jack1's "new" builtin
support for Fons' zita-based adapters for any number of additional
ALSA devices.
I've been using it all day, and it works really, really, really well.
Much more reliable than either the ALSA Jack plugin or switching
Pulse sinks.
