Pulseaudio and combining sources
Resources here provide good examples if you want to combined certain devices and not all of them (like using paprefs):

Not sure why, but there seems to be a lot of issues with gnome and app indicators (think system tray)..
So far this seems to work, but as it is a bit of voodoo, haven't tested it often.. (or at least some combination involving the following):
$ sudo apt purge gnome-shell-extension-appindicator indicator-common indicator-application
reboot / Alt-F2 'r'
gnome-tweaks -> extensions. make sure everything is disabled
reboot / Alt-F2 'r'
Ubuntu Software -> Add-Ons -> Shell Extensions -> Topicons plus (install)
reboot /Alt-F2 'r'
/etc/udev/rules.d$ cat 99-CHProducts.rules

I removed swap (/etc/fstab) from a machine a while ago, but the system was still activating the partition. Come to find out systemd.special/swap.target was still mounting it some how **OR** initramfs .. (still not entirely sure).
So if I remove the swap partition, it CAN'T activate it.. GREAT only except the machine now takes a really long time (~44 seconds) to boot when it was booting in about half that (~25 seconds) before that. WHAT THE HECK?!
The git project contains quick checks (scans) on ways to improve system stability when it comes to low latency and real-time applications. This can improve jack to where the buffer size can be as low as 128x2 for USB class 2 audio hardware using a pre-compiled low-latency kernel. Should be lower (64x2?) for a custom compiled real-time kernel.. Otherwise using standard kernel you might still have issues at 1024x2 with a busy system.

Pulseaudio notes:

Shows how to create multiple sinks and sources (with the jack/pulse module) so you can point things like Discord or Skype or whatnot at jack uniquely
Been fairly happy with the new features in 15 Beta 1... Beta 2 is apparently out:

Looks like the logic inside modern Intel CPUs are too aggressive in pre-loading cache data and forget to check security boundaries... loading data from kernel (or possible other code space) into a region that malicious code could have access too:
