"hw" points to the default card ("0")
"hw:0" makes that explicit
"hw:0,0" points to the first device of the soundcard

Jack uses the alsa ctl interface (in addition to the pcm interface), of
which there is only one instance per card, you can't point to "0,0", it
just does not exist. 

This should not be a problem unless you want to use a device other than
the first in the card.
