I have no experience with 1.8, but unless things have changed  channel= 
has to be the last line in a section. the remaining lines are ignored
Don't you also need [line1] at the beginning of each section?

using context=default has been a security issue in the past. Using a 
different context, and having the default context point to nothing more 
than a rude recording may save you in the case of a security breach
