on the right, and then on the left, I see:

BUT NOW, since my problem with starting JACK up,
the "Writable Clients/Input Ports" box is blank.
I lost my eight "writeable ports" and I am presently
working to get them back. Any tips would be
appreciated.
I think I figured out why this is so. Jack is currently configured
to look for "card 0" as displayed in /proc/asound/cards
Yesterday, "card 0" was my M-Audio 2496, and eight
"Writable Clients/Input Ports" were visible in qjackctl.
Today, "card 0" is my webcam and my M-Audio 2496
is "card 1". My webcam has no playback capability
(just a microphone) and so qjackctl now displays no
"Writable Clients/Input Ports".
I imagine I changed the numbers on my audio devices
with all of the fiddling I have been doing.
Questions:
How do I change the audio devices back, so my
M-Audio card is "card 0".
Or
How to I get jack/qjackctl to look for "card 1"
rather than "card 0"?
Thank you all again for your help and patience.
P.S. I still am interested in the answer to this as well:
Incidentally, what do these eight playback
connections
represent. The "M-Audio Audiophile 2496" only has
three outputs, left and right analog and S/PDIF.
And so do these playbacks 1 through 8 refer to some
sort of mixing channels in the firmware of the
Audiophile 2497?
Thanks.
