If you are on a Debian based system, "apt-cache search pulseaudio" or "apt-cache search pulseaudio-module-jack" can be used to search for the pulseaudio-module-jack package. If using a Red Hat based system, "yum search pulseaudio" can be used. If apt-get or yum cannot locate and install the pulseaudio-module-jack, this suggests that the repositories being used by apt or yum on your system is unable to locate the pulseaudio-module-jack package. In this scenario, you would either need to modify your repo, or install pulseaudio-module-jack package from an RPM (Red Hat) or Deb (Debian).
