Hi James,
I recently got this working on my Ubuntu Lucid desktop.
At the moment I a nowhere near that machine so cannot
recall the exact settings. It involved PulseAudio and
making something like a Pulse<->Jack bridge. It
works well, finally the kind of linux audio capabilities
I dreamed of for years... patching Firefox playing
a YouTube vidio into Audacity and so on.
At present you need to write a launch script
to set it up each time you log in, and alter
the Jack config.
Its not PureDyne specific, but maybe this is
enough of a clue for you to research a possible
solution.
