[linux-audio-user] 4 outputs with sblive! + jack?

[Joern Nettingsmeier]

you can use the pre-defined surround40 device, *but* jackd will 
assume it also has 4 input channels and refuse to start, so you have 
to define a new device based on surround40.

add this to your .asoundrc:

ctl.jack42 {
         type hw
         card 0
}

pcm.jack42 {
         type asym
         playback.pcm {
                 # route for mmap workaround
                 type route
                 slave.pcm surround40
                 ttable.0.0 1
                 ttable.1.1 1
                 ttable.2.2 1
                 ttable.3.3 1
         }
         capture.pcm {
                 # 2 channels only
                 type hw
                 card 0
         }
}


then specify "jack42" as your alsa device when starting jackd. works 
like a charm for me.
