Nope. The ALSA-Jack Plugin seems to not agree with it and it crashes
firefox anytime I go to a site with audio. If I am lucky it crashes it
before outputting LOTS of LOUD audio into my monitors.

Don't know of one that would do what I _think_ you are looking for myself,
course that doesn't say much in the Linux world;)

That is going to be my next move in fact, I will be routing the internal
sound into the line ins on my RME, and using its mixer to route that to the
appropriate output for my DA. Should work fine as long as you set the
onboard to the alsa default card, and specify in qjackctl to use the RME.

Side Note: Try out e17.

Have fun.
