[LAU] How to have audio w/o jackd ?

Hello, I have to be able to have audio after terminating jackd. Everything works fine when jackd is present, xine, firefox, audio apps, etc. When jackd is gone, no more audio. Taking xine as an example, pavucontrol will show the output when it plays a video and will show that the output goes to the onboard audio. If I choose the 1010LT card, then xine freezes. Envy24 utility shows nothing. I would like to be able to view, and hear, downloaded video clips without jackd around. Why ? Because the current bitwig has a bug in which jackd MIDI does not work. This translates has having sound, but no MIDI from external controllers. OTOH, if bitwig switches to ALSA then there's MIDI but no sound until jackd goes away. The goal is to follow bitwig tutorials. There must be a way for audio apps to be able to output sound on the 1010LT without jack...
