Incidentally...  Since this is the Kubuntu list, I assume you'd rather not 
have to use GNOME for anything.  If you install "kubuntu-desktop" on top of 
Ubuntu Studio, you miss out on all the look and feel stuff they intend, but 
you get to run a normal, sensible desktop environment without all that 
ghastly gnomish crap everywhere.

That's what I'm running myself.  It started life as the Ubuntu Studio DVD, and 
kubuntu-desktop on top of it made it downright usable.

Now you get to explore the complicated stuff.  Run QJackCtl, get JACK working, 
then run QSynth, and configure it to play via JACK.

My book is old, but that part should still be enough to give you a more 
detailed explanation of what I just said:

(If it still seems complicated, that's because it is.  "How do I get sound 
working" is my albatross.)
