Currently I am using the mixer in another way. I have connected the sound card's outputs to the mixer's "tape in" and the mixer's main outs to my active studio monitors. So it works as a volume control for the monitors. And I can connect headphones to the mixer, which is nice when I record at night :-)
I use it this way:

* guitar straight in (there's plenty of gain available) or sometimes through a guitar pedal/preamp.

* Mixers "main out" to the soundcard inputs

* Mixers "control room out" to my amp/speakers

* Soudcard outputs to mixers "CD/tape input" - "tape to control room/phones" option selected

* (Optional) soundcards SPDIF output to my amp/speakers
