Line-in on sblive (uadio) on RELENG_6 ?

Since migrating a local NPR station from RELENG_5 with a pci ES1370 card to
RELENG_6 with an USB SBLive, listeners are complaining of very low levels.
The feed (from the radio station) is straight into the line-in on the sblive
(but notice that mixer reports the only recording device as mic). On the
previous server, line-in was an option. Despite the recording device being
currently set to 'mic' (and the cabling plugged into line-in), sound is
indeed being captured and recorded. Adjusting the mixer levels seems to have
no impact on volume whatsoever. Should I just go ahead and try using the
mic-in ? Or am I missing something simple here ?
TIA,
Robin
