Because JACK accesses the soundcard directly (bypassing dmix) by
default. JACK is written for low latency professional audio use - it's
not intended to share the soundcard with other apps.
This is not a bug - it's by design.

Yes, you can do that. Just use jackd -d alsa -P default:0. The latency
and performance will not be as good as direct hardware access.

Yes, but artsd should already be using the default (dmix enabled)
device.
