Can jackd and pulseaudio coexist?

I am trying to use Rosegarden, and it seems that it requires jackd
in order to run.  Yes I poured over the internet docs but have yet
to understand why using the jack-audio-kit app (qjackctl), jackd
complains that another app is using it and I am guessing it is
pulse-audio?

Here is is the barf:

Anyone know what I need to do?
Is there a HOWTO to get this all working on F10?

Thanks!
