I've had problems using JACK and pulseaudio with my ICE1712 device.
Instead of trying to remove pulseaudio, I used the simple solution:

sudo chmod 644 /usr/bin/pulseaudio

That way it won't start. I have 5 other Linux systems that have simple,
on-board audio and pulse works great for those but, with the ST Audio
DSP2000 C-Port, it would give me problems starting JACK. It wasn't worth
the effort of trying to figure out how to get the two to work together
nicely. I also don't have any problems with audio on this system when
I'm not running JACK.

Cheers,
Jan
