Linux audio capture configuring for multiple players

Here's the situation. I've got LMS running on my Raspberry Pi (Raspbian Wheezy) upon which I have a Cirrus Logic Audio card attached. I've configured things so that I can feed an analog audio signal into the LineIn port of the Audio card, capture the audio via the WaveInput plugin, and stream the content to my Squeezebox players. Here's the problem:

One of the players (running Squeezelite) is on the same Raspberry Pi that's also running the LMS. The output from this player is the LineOut port on the aforementioned Cirrus Logic Audio card. Now, I can successfully play the content to that player as well as any other player. However, I can't seem to get things configured so that I can play to both types of devices properly. I can make either of them work, but not both with the same configuration. The problem comes down to digital control for the capture device on the Cirrus Logic Audio card. The analog audio is being captured on IN3 which has 4 controls (IN3L, IN3R, IN3L Digital, IN3R Digital). In other words, there are 2 channels that have both an analog and digital control. If I set the Digital controls above 1, the player using the Cirrus Logic Audio card starts to become full of noise. However, if I set the digital controls below 10 or 11, I can barely hear the audio on some other devices (i.e. Android device running Squeeze Player).

The analog controls seem to have limited affect (nearly negligable affect on my Android devices). Currently, I have the digital controls set at 1. Which means, if I want to listen on one of my android players, I have to go into the alsamixer on the Raspberry Pi and jack the digital controls up. And, if I want the content going to both devices, I get to choose either noise from the Raspberry Pi or very low volume from the Android device.

So my question is, does anyone have any ideas that could possibly correct this so I don't have to fiddle with the alsamixer every time I want to play audio from the LineIn port?

Thanks!
