ALSA/Pulse - remap input to output

Hi there! I've been using Linux for about 3 years.
I have a laptop running Archlinux on which I have an jack output for headphones, a jack input for a mic/line in and an internal mic.
I'd like to remap the input jack to an output, to play sound using the original output and the mic input. Now I'm using ALSA+Pulseaudio, but when I used OSS4, in the OSS control panel I had an option (a tick if I remember well) which changed the input jack operating mode. I don't know how to do this on ALSA+Pulseaudio.
The sound card is capable of doing this ( like I said, on OSS I had to tick a tick to remap the input to output).

To make this clear:
-I want to use input as output
-I don't want to touch the original output
-I want to use the original output with the new one to play audio (same channels, not necesary a virtual 4.0 sound)
-I dont' want to go back to OSS4
-The card is capable of doing this

Can you give me some advice, or a link or something?
All links I've searched over the Internet tell me how to monitor the input or how to record the input. I want to play music via input. I know I can do this. OSS4 can, so why not ALSA+Pulse?

Thank you.

Here's some examples apparently.

JACK may also be useful.

As I said, I don't want to record the output. I want to play audio via input.
