Ok, please excuse my confusion, I think I finally get it. Jan's post 
cleared it up for me.

Fwiw, I tried that arecord command, pluged a live signal into
each of the 4 inputs one at a time on my Delta66 breakout box, 
and examined the output in "sweep", it looked something like this,

 1  --/\/\/\/\/\/-----------------------------------------------
 2  -----------------/\/\/\/\/\/--------------------------------
 3  --------------------------------/\/\/\/\/\/-----------------
 4  ---------------------------------------------/\/\/\/\/\/----
 5  ------------------------------------------------------------
 6  ------------------------------------------------------------
 7  ------------------------------------------------------------
 8  ------------------------------------------------------------
 9  ------------------------------------------------------------  *
10  ------------------------------------------------------------  *
D1  --/\/\/\/\/\/---------------------/\/\/\/\/\/--------------- (dmix)
D2   -----------------/\/\/\/\/\/----------------/\/\/\/\/\/---- (dmix)


So the ice1712 has 4 unused inputs on the Delta66.  Oh, well,
its only silicon.  :)
