After a quick search I've managed to stumble on this product list: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Main I've also managed to stumble on this product page: http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/UCA202.aspx It explicitly mentions linux support and it's relatively cheap. Nice. Once again thanks for the help. Kudos! Rui Maciel

Every computer I've seen made in the last 15 years has a "sound input device". > Bonus points if it's a USB device. There are tons of USB sound cards with line/mic inputs. -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow! Should I get locked at in the PRINCICAL'S gmail.com OFFICE today -- or have a VASECTOMY??
