qjackctl or "Jack Control" makes things easy, it is probably not needed.

In qjackctl, you can start and stop jack. When stopped, you can click setup 
and adjust your settings as well as configure multiple cards and the settings 
you want for each and also settings for different uses if you like.

I have a preset name on this machine called int48 which handles my onboard 
sound and it only does 48000. I have another prest name called usb441 and I 
use that for the zoome h4 at 44100. Hope this info helps you to make 
progress.
