[PD] PD 0.36-0 and Jack 0.61.0 doesn't work?

Not currently, that's why I disabled jack_connect in s_linux.c at
all.

Well, something *must* connect to the soundcard in the end, otherwise
no sound would be produced.

or 
$ pd -jack -inchannels 4 -outchannels 2

After that, you probably have a lot of jack_connect to do.

dac~ takes the ids of output channels. So it works like this:

[dac~ 1] ==> pure_data_0:output0
[dac~ 2 4] ==> pure_data_0:output1, pure_data_0:output3
...
