hm.. i wasn't able to find the original resource. i try to reconstruct
everything from memory. it assumes, that you have jackd and qjackctl
already configured, up and running.

1. get the package 'pulseaudio-module-jack' from:
   http://packages.debian.org/lenny/pulseaudio-module-jack

2. install it:
   gdebi-gtk pulseaudio-module-jack_0.9.10-3_<your_architecture>.deb

3. save the attached file as '.jackd.pa' to your home directory.

4. start qjackctl and go to the setup. change to the 'options' tab and:
   -check 'Execute script on Startup:' and fill the field with
    'pulseaudio -k'. this will kill pulseaudio, as soon as jackd is
    started
   -check 'Execute script after Startup' and fill in:
    'pulseaudio -n -F ~/.jackd.pa &'
    (without quotes)

5. now you have to (re)start the jackd server. check the 'Connections'
   window of qjackctl and you should see 'PulseAudio JACK Sink', 
   respectively a 'PulseAudio JACK Source' port.

hope, that helps.
