I use jack and pulseaudio at the same time without using pasuspender. First
I start up jack, then I load pulseaudio. I have pulseaudio load the jack-sink
and jack-source as the default source and sink. That way firefox flash videos
and all that use jack with a higher latency via the pulseaudio plugin, and my
actual audio tools use jack directly with a lower latency. I have had no
problems with this since I figured out how to do it.

The issue with making this a default for new users is that it requires jack to
be running at login, and for pulseaudio to be setup properly to be using jack
for all input / output.
