One solution is to put an insert. Go on the mixer strip and instead of adding 
a plugin chose "New Insert", then Ctrl+Button 3 to add input ports.
When you record, don't forget to mute the insert ifnot you will get twice the 
signal.

In the option editor 'Audition' there is a shot text saying what it is...
I think it is to listen the region listed in the left.. May be there are other 
uses ? Like listening a file before to import it ?? I don't know much about 
it as well :-/

A bus is a strip generally used for global effect like reverb... It is very 
similar to a real hardware mixer.  For instance create a stereo bus, then 
insert a ladspa reverb like the freeverb3... On your other audio tracks chose 
"New send" (like above with insert) then edit the "send" to add the reverb 
bus as destination, you see that there is a level to set the amount of the 
signal sent to the reverb. That way you have a reverb bus for all the track 
that need it, you can add other bus (mono or stereo) if you want a group of 
track to be processed similary by a same effect... 
Another use is to make group of track depending of their instrumental 
category. For instance, route all the drums track to a bus, it will allow you 
to change the volume of all theses tracks at once, or mute them all to 
concentrate on the rest of the song... 
There are many uses possible.. :)
