More information:
  I was able to get PA-jackd bridging to work. Jackd must be running
before pulse is started. US doesn't do this. PA is running by default
and when jackd is started pulse connects to jackd as it should, but
doesn't let go of alsa. So when a client tries to send sound to PA, it
still tries to send audio to alsa (maybe at the same time as jackd) and
is blocked by jackd which has control of alsa. If I start jackd->killall
pulseaudio->open pulse control (starts pulse again) then the output only
shows one output instead of two. Now a pulse client is able to send
sound ->PA->jackd->alsa->speaker/outputjack.

It looks like either PA needs to let go of alsa as source and sink when it
connects to jack or needs to expect jackd (or the script starting jackd)
to stop and restart pulse. This restart may need to take place after jackd
stops as well.

Let me know if this makes any sense.
