Jack sucks pretty badly as a desktop audio backend. Low latency means it is 
much more prone to drop-outs, and configuring and installing it is a pain.

My current suggestion is to leave sound mixing the OSS layer in FreeBSD and 
ALSA dmix for Linux, and just use a direct audio backend like gstreamer or 
akode.
