Slightly off topic just trying to clear up all the jack/alsa/pulse configs that might interfere.
ALSA is where everything plays out of eventually, the rest of the stuff are layers on top. When pulse loads up it will steal ALSA and cause all sorts of weird problems (usually just that you get no sound). You can work around this by making JACK startup and be the only thing that talks directly to ALSA. You then script JACK so that it kicks and rejoins with Pulse and then starts the Rivendell daemons. You can just as easily set pulse to autospawn=no (/etc/pulse/client.conf I think) instead of uninstalling it, the main thing is that its not running. Having said that, it seems odd that you'd get any sound if Pulse was running, do you have two sound cards or something (including motherboard onboard cards)?
