X-Fi Elite Pro and cd-in connections

I just bought a Creative X-Fi Elite Pro (PCI), and am ready to plug it into my Gigabyte GA-965P-DQ6. Then, I noticed that the soundcard only has one cd-in connector, marked as "AUX". I have two optical drivces though, and would like to connect both drives to have sound from both of them. No info on the website or the manual!?!? Any ideas? The mobo has a cd-in audio connector, but I would imagine that would route the signal thru the onboard sound chip.

The old Audigy Platinum I have in my old rig has 3 audio connectors, which allowed for immediate connection of more than one optical drive, so err, I am a bit lost.

Also, here in Japan, the X-Fi Elite Pro comes with the external audio console, but no 5 1/4 inch front I/O panel. Is it worth getting that??? Please help!
