[LAU] Jack does not see USB sound card Boss Micro BR-80

[Erik Steffl]

trying to use Boss Micro BR-80 as USB soundcard with Jack but seems like 
jack (qjackctl) does not recognize it.

My system: Ubuntu 13.04 with pretty much standard configuration (runs 
pulseaudio, installed jackd2, pulseaudio-module-jack, qjackctl)

Have built in audio that I don't really plan to use with jack (or at 
least not in initial setup where I am just trying to make something work):

00:01.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Wrestler HDMI 
Audio [Radeon HD 6250/6310]
00:14.2 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI SBx00 Azalia 
(Intel HDA) (rev 40)

Boss Micro BR-80 seems to be recognized properly (see below) but 
qjackctl does not list it in Set under any of Interface, Input Device, 
Output Device choices, I only see /dev/dsp, /dev/audio, plughw:0 and hw:0.

Any ideas why it does not work or how to troubleshoot it further?

When I plug BR-80 in I get (output of usb-devices):

aplay seems to recognize it.
