Must be pretty old hardware you have. Since quite some years now the on-board
sound of motherboards and laptops has 3 jacks which are either line-out,
line-in and mic-in or front, rear, sub+center. And don't panic, the sub is a
normal line-out without any lowpass or similar applied...

Just start jackd without any -i or -o and see how many channels you get :-)
