There is no such thing as a "JACK output module"; simply use the "PCM Out"
module of AMS, and then in e.g. QJackCtl, connect the "ams_*" output of
AMS to the ALSA PCM out of your soundcard, and you should have AMS sound
through JACK.

I cannot comment on the other problem; 1024 playback and capture channels
sure sounds like something is wrong in your setup :-). Please state your
ALSA, AMS and JACK versions - it might be a problem with a too new or too
old ALSA version.
