If you install alsa-plugins you can configure alsa to default to the jack plugin. See the instructions at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Jack_%28plugin%29 . This lets me run prboom through JACK even though prboom is not JACK-aware: the ALSA configuration silently reroutes prboom through JACK. This isn't a surefire solution: it depends on your application respecting the ALSA default. If the app *insists* on talking straight to the hardware then you're stuck. Also some apps like mpg123 complain about samplerate issues that I haven't fixed. I'm assuming that they *are* fixable, I just haven't got round to doing it.
