Since Lucid (IIRC), PulseAudio is built with JACK support.

A few months ago I made an additional module to automatically add JACK 
sinks and JACK sources to PulseAudio whenever JACK is started. This 
requires the DBus version of JACK, and is included in Natty. In other 
versions of JACK or Ubuntu, you need to load it manually using the 
"pacmd load-module module-jack-sink" command.
(This is all about layering PulseAudio on top of JACK - layering JACK on 
top of PulseAudio is not supported as AFAIK there is no good reason why 
you want to do it.)

It surprises me a little that neither of you seems to know about this. 
Is there some trouble activating this feature or have you just not 
checked it lately?
