I currently run both PA and JACK side by side, but on different sound cards. However, I can get PA to send audio into JACK and vice versa by manually starting JACK through QJackCtl; the PA plugin is not initialized otherwise. This works fine but it can be a little CPU hungry if I have many inputs/outputs. As I mentioned, PA is running "on top of" JACK. I do not know if the opposite is as easy (haven't yet tested), but I guess you could just start JACK with the "dummy" driver and let the PA plugin do the trick. Also, make sure PA does not take over the card you want to use with JACK. Otherwise JACK will complain. It can be disabled through pavucontrol. Kind regards, Karl
