Ok. Let's stop for a moment and start from the beginning, because now it 
is already like a puzzle for me too. Let me explain once more what I see 
you have and then you explain me where is your problem.

You have 3 PCM devices configured:
- pcm0: 7.1 playback via 4 rear jacks (Green, Black, Orange and Grey) + 
record from mic (front Pink), line (rear Blue), monitor (second mic, 
rear Pink), cd (internal Black) or mix (sum of all these).
- pcm1: stereo playback via front Green jack.
- pcm2: SPDIF output

As for me, this configuration is correct and good enough. You can record 
from your line-in via pcm0 after selecting that source via `mixer =rec 
line` command. You can playback via SPDIF by using pcm2 device.

So what's wrong? What are you doing and what is not working and how?

You are the first.
