Have a look on this schema: <a href="http://rudd-o.com/archives/2007/11/05/how-pulseaudio-works/">http://rudd-o.com/archives/2007/11/05/how-pulseaudio-works/</a> According to this, I think you should use jackd instead of pulseaudio when you need realtime, low latency, etc... Jack and pulseaudio are on the same software "layer". I mean just after alsa and the kernel.
