There is no box for that as such.  Rosegarden isn't starting jackd so 
much as the JACK API is starting jackd.  I misremember the technical 
details, but basically we made a minor change to use a different API 
call, and now the audio server starts itself when Rosegarden does if 
it's not already running.  This is basically a good thing, since it 
starts Rosegarden with all of its features enabled by default.

There isn't any neat way to disable this.  The workaround is to edit 
your ~/.jackdrc and just put some garbage in there whenever you don't 
want JACK to start.

For example, you had:

   /usr/bin/jackd -dalsa -dhw:2 -r48000 -p1024 -n2 -S

Change to something like:

   foo/usr/bin/jackd -dalsa -dhw:2 -r48000 -p1024 -n2 -S

Since foo/usr/bin/jackd is an invalid path, it will fail, and no more 
audio server.

I suppose we could consider making some config option that would prevent 
Rosegarden from even attempting to start JACK, but I'd really rather not 
bother unless there is a lot of demand.  It's just one more confusing 
configuration option for people to misunderstand, one more thing for 
everybody to have to translate, and one more thing for users to forget 
they changed, so we have to ask what this setting is when they come 
along one day complaining that audio is broken, six months after the 
last time they tinkered around with their settings.  I'd really rather 
not, but I'm not giving a firm no for an answer.
