Are you on jack2?

On jack1 the firewire (aka ffado) backend registers the channels with 
system:capture_X and system:playback_Y as aliases so connecting by system-name 
works the same as when using alsa. Of course if these apps search for 
alsa_pcm:* you are out of luck...
And it also sets the bits for "hardware port" so apps searching for these find 
it.

On jack2, this is not (yet) working. There the device and its ports have more 
complicated names...
