Soon or later you likely will use jackd (likely with ALSA backend) only for music productions. QjackCtl http://qjackctl.sourceforge.net/ and aj-snapshot http://sourceforge.net/projects/aj-snapshot/ are much used tools to handle jack. There are a few other tools available too and bridging could become important, but to start I recommend to drop pulseaudio (disable it, or uninstall it, if needed build a dummy package). Install QjackCtl and aj-snapshot and care about http://jackaudio.org/faq/ . Some applications, e.g. Ardour and Qtractor have options to handle, save and restore jackd settings, so helper aren't necessarily needed. It's useless to write about details yet, assumed you decide to use jackd, we could provide more information/help. Assumed you should decide to record your violin, consider to subscribe to http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user for further requests. I didn't follow the thread, my apologies if I just pointed out, what perhaps already was mentioned. JFTR some people are using jackd in combination with pulseaudio.
