I would love to to have Jack as default. I use it in my personal computer
and it works like a charm. With the application "Cadence" I configured
bridges from alsa and pulseaudio to pass all the sound to Jack. Apulse
solution would be better I suppose.

For avoiding pulseaudio respawn edit /etc/pulse/client.conf uncomment
(delete the semicolon) line "; autospawn = yes" and change it to now. Now
if you kill pulseaudio with command: pulseaudio -k
It won't respawn.
