Creative X-Fi Titanium Card fails to capture

When I tried to use Skype I noticed that there weren't any "Capture devices" besides Front/Wavein which records everything instead of just the microphone.

And I tried to mute everything except the mic which didn't work.

Even worse if I record while playing a secondary source of audio it all goes into some chaotic tune of it's own.

arecord -l

card 0: XFi [Creative X-Fi], device 0: ctxfi [Front/WaveIn]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: ALC889A Digital [ALC889A Digital]
  Subdevices: 1/1

Re: Creative X-Fi Titanium Card fails to capture

And while going through Xorg log file I stumble upon this:

Although it isn't from my Creative X-Fi card, could it be that it's loaded elsewhere? Since I don't find  HDA Intel Rear Mic anywhere.
