I'm going to have to disagree here. falktx, the guy behind KXStudio, has

written a very useful script called pulse-jack that configures Pulseaudio

automatically to work with Jack. I have found this to work better and

require much less configuration than alsa-jack and allows me to use Skype

and Google Voice Chat for my podcast. I also use Torben's Flash Jack driver

and this setup doesn't interfere with pulseaudio or jack. There is NO way to

get the current version of Skype working with Jack without using Pulseaudio.

I have spent years perfecting my podcasting setup and thanks to falktx I'm

now closer to the perfect setup than I ever have been before. I haven't had

any issues with his packages and I use it for audio everyday. I use both

KXStudio and his PPAs on top of vanilla Ubuntu and I've never been happier.
The fact is that Pulseaudio is winning the widest adoption and thanks to the

pulse-jack script Pulseaudio works very well with jack.
