It turns out it was all Alsa's fault for not printing out a warning: CAUTION!!! If you don't want to connect to the front audio header, pins 5 & 6, 9 & 10 have to be jumpered in order to have signal output directed to the rear audio ports. Otherwise, the Line-Out connector on the back panel will not function. [MSI MS-6533/G Micro ATX Mainboard]
