I don't know what I'm missing, but with my setup all applications that
are not native jack clients (e.g. flashplugin etc) connect to jack

supposed to provide here? It supposed to mix different clients in
realtime or something fancy? In that case it does not make sense since
it's not aware of the native jack clients.
Serious audio users are going to configure there system just so in any
case. We have to be cognizant of the novice user - pulse does provide a
very good way of hot-plugging sound devices for normal desktop use. The
jack-pulse bridge simply provides another sink/source.
Gnome pulls in pulse by default, and some apps will try to connect to
pulse if it is installed regardless of whether it is running which is
problematic. I don't expect all users of the spin to stick with the
default desktop we've chosen, so rather than try and remove pulseaudio
from the equation all together we should aim for peaceful coexistent
instead.
Instructions on how to setup the alsa-jack bridge is something which
would be a great addition to the wiki. I have created a starting page
for Jack here [1]. This has been taken from the Musicians guide[2] and
is not meant to replace it, but just provide a more organic way of
documenting what the community knows about setup and configuration.
Looking for volunteers to add the rest of the configuration side from
the guide to the wiki and expand on the already existing pulseaudio
troubleshooting pages we have. If you don't have an account, create one
and choose to join the music-creation SIG and I'll sponsor you
