I'm not familiar with that device either, but the impedance mismatch cacn be an issue. A typical PC line in wants to see 2.5k ohms at a minimum, and would probably prefer 5k or 10k; the typical earphone output is likely to be 4, 8, or 16 ohms. But the result of that problem would first be seen in very low audio level and possibly some distortion.
