You probably want quite different settings for your music versus your system sounds.

No need for the cable, just use xmms and play the audio CD's digitally.
Start xmms choose Preferences (Ctrl+P) select CD Audio Player -> (Input
Plugins) -> press the 'Configure' button, ->Play mode: Digital audio extraction
