As said, unless you have some voodoo SW on your machine, that is
not possible. If mplayer uses jack, it doesn not know anything
about the sound card. Not the sample format, not the number of
channels, only the sample frequency.

Again, mplayer can't know this. Your are probably running on
some other soundcard, not using Jack.
