The Linux audio lists are full of advice about making jack play nicely
with pulseaudio. Generally, the advice has to do with getting pulseaudio
suspended (or removed). Generally, multiple audio cards are also
assumed. A good summary can be found at:

http://www.jackaudio.org/pulseaudio_and_jack


Given the uneasy relationship between jack and pulseaudio, it seems to
me rather foolish to expect anything very useful out of introducing yet
another uneasy relationship into the mix, namely support of screen
reader speech.

PS: Please also note the reference to pasuspender. I'm investigating use
of pasuspender with Speakup and Viavoice to see whether that might
enable me to leave speech-dispatcher working with pulse. It seemed to be
doing that very nicely until I crashed something in my pulseaudio that
keeps it from actually playing sound, even though apps like paplay and
out from pacmd suggest all volumes are up. Oh well, that's another
issue.
