The PulseAudio sink for Jack works, but is unreliable on a laptop
when suspending. Jack is also affected when suspending. On a desktop
(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).
