I didn't have pavucontrol installed so I did and I found out that I can select if the input on the xonar is line-in or mic... which I couldn't with any other mixer I tried before (not even alsamixer... ...

I have an Asus Xonar Essence STX (and very happy with it! I think it's a great card), but I rarely use windows...
