I took a quick look into Karsten's original jackd usx2y_driver code and...
I'm affraid that the number of channels were being hardcoded as 2 for
capture and 2 for playback.

OTOH already in the current jack CVS trunk, the number of channels are
either given on the jackd command line (-i,-o) or taken from the maximum
allowed by the ALSA driver (via snd_pcm_hw_params_get_channels_max()).
Maybe its around here where the issue is? Karsten?

I could also check that the jackd usx2y specific code has support for no
more than 4 capture and 2 playback channels.

What happens when you start jackd explicitly for 4 input channels (-i4)?
e.g. jackd -R -d alsa -d hw:N[,2] -i4 -o2

I'll remember to try this myself, when I get home.

Take care.
