What should I do?

Hey Justice,
You are correct in that the line out is ok to connect to the soundcard. The powered ouputs (that are a no-no) should be labeled as "speaker outputs" or "cabinet outputs" (for guitar amp heads). Also if they give an "Ohm" rating (such as 4Ohm, 8Ohm, 16Ohm, etc) these are also speaker outputs and not ok to plug into your soundcard. Here are some examples of outputs that are NOT ok to plug into your soundcard:
If there is a "line out" on your amp, these are always ok to plug into your soundcard.
*EDIT* I have just updated that warning to include these images. So hopefully it'll be a little clearer for others in the future.
