Okay, this is what I need!  Can somebody (Russell?) please post the
.asoundrc that makes this actually work?  I've tried various bits for
".asoundrc" that I've found here and there online and I can't get
'qjackctl' to see the device, nor can I get 'jackd' to start manually
with the composite device. 
 Hmmm...I have approx. 2.314 brain cells left and they don't communicate
 with each other anymore! :)  From recollection, I thought I just used
 the "multi" option in Qjackctl and set jack for 4 in's and 4 outs. 
 
I'm not familiar with a "multi" option in 'qjackctl'.  Can't
find it on
any of the tabs in the setup screen.  I tried 4 ins/outs but then
'qjackctl' sez: 'can't connect as jack client'.

Again, I'm not concerned with sync.  I'm interested in *routing*. 
 
 I wasn't all that concerned with sync either...I was using it as a live
 RT fx processing system. I did have a problem with the distortion
 produced by the sync issue. 
 
Hmmm... I'd have to hear it to see if it was too much for what I'm
doing.  I mean, really, this is just meant as a composing assistant.
