Public bug reported: While I was using Saucy I could launch jackd and pulseaudio would configure itself nicely as a jackd client. Since upgrading to Trusty I can no longer launch jackd because the audio interface concerned is "already in use" (by pulseuaudio). I am pasting the output of qjackctl, covering a few attempts to connect, below.
