From: Timo Wischer twischer@de.adit-jv.com

The following example will connect ALSA channel 0 to JACK port "system:playback_1" and "system:playback_3" and ALSA channel 1 to JACK port "system:playback_2" and "system:playback_4":

pcm.jack { type jack playback_ports { 0 [ system:playback_1 system:playback_3 ] 1 [ system:playback_2 system:playback_4 ] } }

The old syntax with only one port for one channel is still supported: playback_ports { 0 system:playback_1 1 system:playback_2 }

Without this patch an additional JACK client has to be used to automatically connect the second JACK port but this could take some time. Therefore it misses for example the first audio period on the second port.
