well, my philosophy for KXStudio is to have JACK running all the time. for web browsers, we can simply have a asoundrc file (and also libflash-jacksupport).
I'm currently working on an application that manages all this (JACK settings, ALSA audio, A2J and pulse-jack bridges, patchbay, etc, etc). code is here - http://repo.or.cz/w/cadence.git not very documented for now, nor officially released yet, but it's what I use in KXStudio right now. 2011/5/21 Marc R.J.
