Jack works really well with the xine phonon backend at least. Nepomuk (file

indexing) is probably the main offender for cpu/memory consumption, You can

turn this off or limit it. Personally I let it run everywhere but where I

keep my git/subversion repos.
PulseAudio is optional but I am finding that this is actually working quite

well for me.

(I have to run pulseaudio --kill after starting jack)

The downside for OpenBox (not xmonad) is that it seems not very

actively developed in the last year or so, not much releases or even

git commits.
