OK, understand, but I also need to specify a merged ALSA device for playback in order to get 4 channels of output on the USB device.

probably would be better to use that in the example then :)

Not trying to be difficult, but ultimately I will need -Chw:1 -Pft4, where ft4 is defined in my .asoundrc. Not sure how to do it properly, if -C and -P are not the right way.

its not ideal, merging the input as well into ft4 would be better. i assume that you've read http://jackaudio/multiple_devices ?

sounds as if the bug you are facing is in qjackctl anyway, not in jack.
