Could you first try to playback audio without all your quirks using the
following commands, please.

For channel 1&2: aplay -D plughw:Audio4DJ,0,0 test.wav
For channel 3&4: aplay -D plughw:Audio4DJ,0,1 test.wav

If that works, we can exclude driver issues. I'm very confident that
will work btw, as this is the way I tested the driver.

I admittedly have no clue about JACK ;)
