Steve,

I think you confuse your bad luck in getting started with
Jack being complicated.

If you have ALSA working, and Pulse Audio is not running,
it is very simple to get sound from Jack.

1) start jackd
2) test play some sound, e.g. ecasound -i test.wav -o jack,system

Having JACK serve transparently as the back end with ALSA or
Pulse Audio virtual devices available for client programs
*is* more complicated.

Jack is most useful in music production, when you want to
connect multiple audio applications together.

I don't run it for routine listening, but you can, if your
applications support it or you use some compatibility layer
over it.

Will be happy to help you, if you need it. Just post to
the appropriate list. Linux Audio User is the best.

Cheers,

Joel
