I would second jack for getting the best performance, although setting 
up jack sink with pulseaudio can be a pain and jack will usually block 
applications which aren't jack-aware (browser etc.).

If really in desperate need of pd while some other audio is on you may 
do something as hacky as:

padsp pd[extended] -oss -audiobuf 80 -noadc

padsp is actually a pulseaudio OSS wrapper. Of course your mileage may 
vary... For example on my system I have to suppress audio input (-noadc) 
to have this working and bring latency up a bit.
