I use a Behringer UCA202 and things look the same in my qjackctl 
settings as that page you linked, so I think that is ok.

The difference is they show hw:1 being used for input and output.  I 
found I need to have a different one for each, for example,
Input hw:1 USB Audio CODEC
Output hw:1,0 USB Audio

For the UCA202 the only control available in alsamixer is output level, 
so it doesn't come as a surprise the UCG102 doesn't have any internal 
controls.

My UCA202 works on Debian Lenny, Squeeze and Sid.  I think you will get 
this working if you play around with the selections for input device and 
output device.

A final tip (and I don't know if this applies to the UCG) is I found I 
had a lot of Xruns on the UCA202 using 44100Hz samplerate, but it runs 
smoothly at 48kHz.

Let us know if you keep having troubles.  I'm assuming since you got 
Rakarrack working with the internal sound card your problem is not 
likely related to your jack connections.  I don't know whether the 
UCG102 has a "monitor" switch, but if it does, make sure it is disabled.

Take care,
