Please don't take my remarks so badly! I did not said I was smarter than every audio packager in Ubuntu, nor did I said this was absolutely required for Ubuntu to be something usable and that else I'd immediately go to Windows. Believe it if you want: I'm not even personally interested in getting Ardour working out of the box since I don't use it. And I'm okay to configure jackd myself for use with Rosegarden (which AFAIK needs jack) - actually on my computer it requires no configuration but the defaults.
I perfectly agree with you that as soon as you want to make your computer something quite serious you need to configure things. But what you managed until now not to answer to is: would basic defaults making jackd output to PulseAudio hurt anybody? Sure it would be slow, it would not be serious at all, but would it allow people that can stand that use JACK then? Others, as you said, will configure it. I'm not asking you to implement it, I'm just looking for a possible theoretical solution. As a user I guess I can help by telling developers what users may like to see.
