Dunno about Jack, but to switch back to ALSA:

I can't imagine it'll be much different for 9.04 or 9.10.

I tend to stick to LTS releases only, and then only when they've been
out for a couple of months, so since I'm still on Hardy 8.04 which uses
ALSA, I won't have to deal with this until next summer.
