My QJackCtl Patchbay doesn't work any more and

new ways to get similar functionality with WirePlumber, but a little
example would help. I seem to want to pipe the output of pw-link -l

Need to always connect jack-play this way:
$ pw-link -l
alsa_output.usb-EDIROL_M-16DX-00.pro-output-0:playback_AUX0
|<- jack-play:out_1
alsa_output.usb-EDIROL_M-16DX-00.pro-output-0:playback_AUX1

jack-play:out_1

jack-play:out_2

I think you can (via PW setup) change the name of your USB to
system:playback_1 (and 2) and then Qjackctl's patchbay might just work.

Change node.name to system and audio.position = [ FL FR ] to [ 1 2 ] etc.
I am not sure why PW, in it's JACK compatibility does not allow one of the
devices to be chosen as master and called system:* for compatibility with
all the JACK software out there... but it is what it is. I am sure someone
will come up with a configuring app(let) that does this better for
profesional audio use. To be honest, I am not really sure what optimal
would be.
