Quite honestly, it does not seem to be something that _should_ be done by
ALSA either, because properly joining two devices would mean an extra
buffer (and latency).

this is not true, if they are clock-synced.

It seems that the reality is that each device needs
to be dealt with as a separate device. So if it is not Jack's problem then
a second jacklike server that exposes the ports as jack clients is needed
and expected. So using something like zita-a2j would be the "correct" way
of doing things.

if they are not clock synced, then yes.
