That link basically says dont use pulseaudio (if you want to use nted)

The last time I tried jack (this was on debian about a year back) my
sound stopped working. Of course Ive not idea how to use jack so Im
not complaining.

If you could tell me what packages to try Ill try and see.

Also (if some such thing is there) I would very much like to see
something about linux sound architecture. IOW jack, pulse and esd all
seem to be 'servers' of some sort and (from what you say) jack seems
to work well with pulse but pulse and esd are an either-or. So whats
the bigger picture of all this.
