I spent a lot of time making the backend work, and Mozilla refuses to include the compile flag in default builds because they dont want to support users with an extra audio backend, but the truth is, JACK audio server is superior in GNU/Linux than PulseAudio.
In 55.0a1 I introduced a hidden runtime pref that allows you to select which audio backend to use, but in icecat 52.3.0, the backend is auto selected with a hardcoded initialisation order: JACK is tried first, then pulse, then alsa in that order (if you build with --enable-jack). As it stands, it will fall back to pulse backend if jackd is not running.
