David,
I just tested the latest build kernel as provided by Andy here : 
http://people.canonical.com/~apw/jack-detection-precise/

it causes pulseaudio to crash on startup. Also audio no longer works for 
me on this laptop. My alsa-info is included in the wiki. Let me know 
what info you need and I can help debug this.
Thanks,
