Dear Xeno,
I'm running Debian Etch and have a similar 3 plug arrangement in back.
One for the mike and sound left, sound right. It might help if you gave
us a bit of info on your system. Which Debian are you running? Have you
 installed alsa (lots of postings about how to do that). The more info
you give the easier it is to help.
Jonathan
