welcome to the year 2019.
Debian 3.1 was released in 2005, support ended in 2008.
Debian 4.0 was released in 2007, support ended in 2010.
so i guess you somehow timewarped by a decade.

now that's a serious problem.
imu, the client number is supposed to identify the device.
if two devices share the same number, they cannot be uniquely

does qjackctl show both devices?
if so, you could try to use that for the connection management.

are you using my [aconnect] external, or the `aconnect` cmdline utility?
(the manpage of the latter says, that you can specify clients by name)
