Do you need to run "jackd" using "sudo" ?

This is normal when your sound card does not support hardware mixing

however both alsa-jack and alsa-pulse plugin are I/O plug

if web browser can use alsa "default" device through "alsa-pulse" plugin to
pulseaudio server

in theory the web browser can also use alsa "default" device through
"alsa-jack" plugin to jack server

assume that you don't use any OSS aplication any more
