Just a guess: The line-in is patched through to line-out when the TV
tuner is not in use. That way you do not have to move cables all the
time if you have another device you want to use with line-in on your
soundcard.

I just wonder why it has a "line-in" input. It seems it is completely
useless...

Most of those really old devices don't actually make the PCM audio
available over the USB.  That's why they provide an "audio out"
connector - you're supposed to connect it to the line-in on your sound
card.
