I don't know how anecdotal that is, but I've heard about pro audio users downright loving JACK [0] (not an audio app, but they must be using this toolkit for something).

Personally I like PulseAudio which has worked just fine for quite some time here on Arch Linux, while it always seemed to be a bloody mess of an integration on Ubuntu.

JACK is for true realtime audio mixing. Which is why the pro's love it: it does that very well indeed.

It's not really appropriate for ordinary users though.
