hw:0,0 (or better plughw:0,2 for automatic sample format conversion)

hw:0,2 (plughw:0,2)

The second device can also be configured to record from the front mic.

Please try the rear mic, too.

Connect anything to the line input, and set it as source.

This looks OK.  Did you try to record from the front mic?
