I hope this is the right place to raise this topic.

I am running Ubuntu 11.10 which installs Pulse and JACK by default.
Sound works fine with most things but not with Google Talk.  To get
sound to work with GT I have to Quit JACK.

Jack (the daemon, not the library) is not installed by default in Ubuntu 11.10. Maybe you installed something else that pulled it in as a dependency.

But anyway, the server should not be started unless you run a program that requires JACK, which is the essence of the problem here.

I have read that if I can configure Pulse correctly that GT can be made
to work with JACK running.

It should work out of the box, with module-jackdbus-detect enabled as the default; but we're not there yet. Still bugs to fix last time I checked.

1.  Should my user be a member of the "audio" group or not?  I have
found both as recommended.

No.

2.  Do I need to enable Simultaneous Output in PA Preferences?

No.

3.  If I do enable Simultaneous Output I can't start pulseaudio:

tony@ubuntu:~$ pulseaudio -D
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Daemon startup failed.
tony@ubuntu:~$ pulseaudio
W: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Stale PID file, overwriting.
W: [pulseaudio] module.c: module-combine is deprecated: Please use
module-combine-sink instead of module-combine!
W: [pulseaudio] module-combine.c: We will now load module-combine-sink.
Please make sure to remove module-combine from your configuration.
Killed

That looks like a crash/bug though, that might be worth investigating further.
