Front Panel Audio/Mic Input Connections

I am trying to wire the front audio and microphone connectors from my Coolermaster Praetorian case to my Asus A8N-SLI motherboard. The Praetorian's front audio/mic pins are labeled:
mic in
mic-power
GROUND
(these three are grouped together)
L-out
R-out
L-ret
r-ret
GROUND

My Asus motherboard connectors are labeled:
BLINE_OUT_L
Line out_L
BLINE_OUT_R
Line out_R
+5VA
MICPWR
AGND
MIC2

Could you please tell me which pins from the case go into which connectors on the motherboard.

The problem I am running into is the case has two GROUND wires and no +5VA wire. I have heard that I only need to connect one ground wire, but that still leaves me without the +5VA connection.

Thank you very much for any help; this is by far the best message board for the A8N-SLI!
