Test jack without Rivendell.

Try something like VLC as a jack player. (Not great but have a go.) Do
everything you are doing now to get Riv and Jack to play together. Then
shut down the Riv side only. Fire up VLC, set it to jack audio output and
possibly shut it down and start it up again. Play a simple wav, ogg, or mp3
file. Can you get any sound out via jack now?

Another thing I do is to use a jack audio meter and hook that to my sound
out instead of my "speakers" and see if the meter is seeing any audio
passing.
