If you fire up JACK PA will go out of the way for that device. And after JACK is done PA takes the device back. JACK is king and PA will comply. In older versions you can use a tool like "pasuspender". It will suspend PA's access to the audio devices temporarily as long as child process is running. If you make that child process JACK you have a neat way to make JACK and PA not fight for device access. A more brutal way is to stop PA with "pulseaudio -k" before you run JACK and then start PA with "pulseaudio -D" afterwards. But that probably won't work that nicely since PA is configured to autospawn in most cases these days -- which you can disable however by editing client.conf.
