I plugged the radio into my other generic soundcard, which is located
on /dev/dsp1 (my SoundBlaster Live! 5.1 card is /dev/dsp), and guess
what? IT WORKS. I am getting audio now after setting things as you
suggested. But it STILL won't work with the SoundBlaster card, setting
things the way you suggested there, too. Weird.

I also ran into the same problem with my SB Audigy card. I feel that
the new kernel is somehow broken since Mandriva also doesn't accept line
in signals with SB audigy card. Will work fine with other SB older
cards though. I really miss having audio with my TV card, but I like
Surround sound with my DVD's.
