I posted a topic about this on the Ubuntu user forums

but I figured LAU was well-suited for this query as well:
Lately I've been using an external USB synthesizer as my main
soundcard in ubuntu (much better than my onboard) but a lot of apps I
use don't support JACK, which is the only way (and the preferable way)
to get audio output.
there are a few "workarounds" eg. kfusd: oss <-> jack or alsaplug.
search the LAU archive for "VOIP and JACK"
The one app that I really wish worked with JACK (out
of the box) was
Mplayer. I really want JACK audio output with mplayer, but I don't
want to compile mplayer myself. Does anyone know of a binary .deb of
mplayer that contains support for JACK (ala mplayer -ao jack) ?
not sure if the works w/ Ubuntu; add:
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org etch main
to /etc/apt/sources.list
I run debian-sid' not 'etch' and mplayer works with jack out of the box!
HTH,
