Didn't occur to me to try it before, yes, the little '>' buttons the the
right of interface, input and output dropdowns shows different values,
including hw:2.

It's pretty confusing, the tooltips don't help much either, they seem to
say the same thing:

Interface dropdown tooltip: 'The PCM device name to use'
Interface '>' tooltip: 'Select PCM device name'

Input device dropdown tooltip: 'Alternate input device for capture'
Input device '>' tooltip: 'Select input device for capture'

Output device dropdown tooltip: 'Alternate output device for playback'
Output device '>' tooltip: 'Select output device for playback'

The values for all dropdown menus are:
  - (default)
  - /dev/dsp
  - /dev/audio
  - plughw:0
  - hw:0

The values for all '>' menus:
  - hw:0 HD-Audio Generic
  - hw:1 HDA ATI SB
  - hw:1,0 ALC892 Analog
  - hw:2 BR-80(AUDIO)
  - hw:2,0 USB Audio
  - (default)

Selecting Interface hw:2 BR-80(AUDIO) works, qjackctl starts jackd
successfully and both recording and playback work (tested using
ardour2).

Guess it's less of a bug than I originally thought but it would be great
if it was explained what the two selectors (dropdown and '>' button) are
and why they have different values. Maybe it would be possible to
consolidate the two into one selection menu?
