FWIW, I had epic fails with dbus in Ubuntu 12.04.

Different configurations are right for different use cases. I run pulse through jack for daily use, but I wouldn't do that in a concert. For instance, I might want to have Skype open in a normal session, and that seems to play best with pulseaudio. But I wouldn't use it in a performance, in which case it's simple to start the jack server but not pulse.
