Alsa-to-Jack bridge broken in alsa* 1.2.7.x

[GitHub issues - opened]

alsa-project/alsa-lib issue #243 was opened from hlekin:

I am using a setup according to https://alsa.opensrc.org/Jack_and_Loopback_device_as_Alsa-to-Jack_bridge

Since the upgrade of alsa-lib, alsa-ucm-conf, and alsa-utils to version 1.2.7, my alsa-to-jack-bridge setup is broken:
$ jack_connect system:capture_1 ploop:playback_1
ERROR ploop:playback_1 not a valid port
A downgrade to versions 1.2.6 resolves the issue. Versions 1.2.7.1 result in the same error.

The relevant output of qjackctl 0.9.7-2 > Messages is:
Cannot write socket fd = 25 err = Broken pipe
CheckRes error
Could not write notification
ClientNotify fails name = cloop notification = 0 val1 = 0 val2 = 0
NotifyAddClient old_client fails name = ploop
