There is a bug in Pulseaudio that is stopping pa from releasing the audio
device.

The temporary solution until it is fixed and released is to disable
autospawn and restart pa.

edit ~/.pulse/client.conf

add

    autospawn = no


restart pulse with

    pulseaudio -k
    pulseaudio -D

or maybe with

    pasuspender -- jackd


If that fails you may need to completely kill pulse or just restart the
machine to get it to release the audio device. Once you have disabled
autospawn it should only need to be done once and only if you have already
been using pulse to listen to a some audio.
