no I tested all my apps and they all work (except for baudline) with 
ALSA and Jack
ALSA is working fine
but removing the ALSA OSS emu layer from the kernel broke how baudline 
(and now Pd) worked in Linux when not using Jack

and I agree a clean install is the only way to go -- I never do an 
upgrade in Ubuntu - I learned my lesson the hard way back in 2006 and 
have never done an upgrade again :)
