well, can you explain what do you mean with jack doesnt work out of the box? i installed ubuntu studio setup jack and it worked. when i said setup jack, i speak on setting the latency/frames/buffers/periods. and it worked on the generic kernel with rt flag on jack, so maybe it doesnt work for you, but form works.
