Again, many thanks for responding.

I use my laptop for all sorts of things - browsing, editing development and
make use of various programs (I hate the word apps) that produce audio:
totem,
firefox (YouTube etc.) and I don't see any easy way to avoid pulseaudio.
I understood
that the versions of pulseaudio from the LAU distribution were fully
aware of Jack, and they
have proved to work in most cases.

For the record, the versions of pulseaudio modules installed are:

~$ dpkg -l | fgrep pulseaudio
ii gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio:amd64 0.10.31-3+nmu1ubuntu5 amd64
GStreamer plugin for PulseAudio
ii gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio:amd64 1.2.4-1~ubuntu1 amd64
GStreamer plugin for PulseAudio
ii pulseaudio 1:4.0-0ubuntu11.1+kxstudio1
amd64 PulseAudio sound server
ii pulseaudio-module-bluetooth 1:4.0-0ubuntu11.1+kxstudio1
amd64 Bluetooth module for PulseAudio sound server
ii pulseaudio-module-x11 1:4.0-0ubuntu11.1+kxstudio1
amd64 X11 module for PulseAudio sound server
ii pulseaudio-utils 1:4.0-0ubuntu11.1+kxstudio1
amd64 Command line tools for the PulseAudio sound server

and for jack:
~$ dpkg -l | fgrep jack
ii azr3-jack 1.2.3-2 amd64 drawbar organ
simulator
ii jack-keyboard 1:2.7.1-1kxstudio1.1 amd64
