Still trying to get the audio working right on the Icom IC-7000. Not working yet ...(Still) . but not giving up. Until then. It would be nice to have some macro commands such as vfo/mem and mem-up and mem-dn. Yaesu has a manual for all of the CAT commands for the 991A and they just have to be converted to HEX but I am looking and looking for the same idea for the IC-7000 and having no luck... Any pointers?
I setup an IC-7000 last Saturday. I'm not sure what your audio issue is, but I can comment on my experience and macro's I put in place.
I bought the rear panel cable from MFJ and when it did not work discovered there was no jumper block on the audio card, so I used an ohm meter and made jumpers from resistor leads for ground and audio in and out as I observed PTT was through the CAT commands. I got a lot of hum on transmit audio. Unplugging everything but the monitor left me with a lot of hum. Finally unplugging the monitor the hum went away. I then decided that I wanted to control the audio in and out of the radio via volume and menu's, so I made up a cable for the mic connector and used a jumper cable for the speaker jack connection. This works fine and because the leads are short the signal is perfectly clean.
Here are some macro's I had a chance to cobble up so I could go from HF to 70CM. I use 70CM repeaters and there seems to be no support in hamlib for that.

I was not yet able to get the memory functions to work correctly. The 7000 has a slightly different format because of banks and I did not have the time to look into it.
