I should clarify things a bit.

qjackctl as it comes, normally does not run jackd but rather jackdbus, it 
is possible to make it run jackd instead with settings.

qjackctl does not write (so far as I know) .jackdrc directly. Rather, when 
jackd is started, it writes that file as a copy of the command line used 
to start jackd.

jackdbus does not use .jackrc at all.

So if you start jackd with no parameters (as you did with pasuspend -- 
jackd) it reads in that file instead. If qjackctl then tries to start 
jackd with the settings it has, it either finds jack is already running or 
tries to start jackd and fails. In either case the settings in qjackctl 
would have no effect.

Anyway more stuff to study...
