I can confirm I am getting the *exact* same problem now - although, I
don't know why this is only giving me 2 capture ports all of a sudden -
up until I applied the 009 patch, i was seeing 16 capture ports in
qjackctl ...

I did this (even though my asound.state file should have had the proper
setting I think), but still no cigar ...

I'm not too worried about this at the moment (not doing any simultaneoud
recording of inputs ... yet), but just thought I'd mention as it seems a
bit strange.
