This is a problem with your soundcard. Make sure your soundcard has
4 channel in and out (and that ALSA supports it). It seems that it hasn't.
(ALSA: cannot set channel count to 4 for capture)

You have to tell PD to use jack like this:
pd -jack
Or set it in the media menu.
If the flag doesn't exist or the Media Menu doesn't have a Jack entry
then pd is not compiled for JACK --> you have to recompile or install
the Debian package, which works out of the box.
