Top quality isn't necessary, although if it's affordable then it would be a nice bonus. I just want to be able to use Ardour to record some stuff. <snip/> Rui Maciel

Top quality isn't needed and unfortunately firewire isn't an option, as my laptop doesn't have any firewire port. And it's a shame because I can actually get my hands on a Behringer FCA202. > I think all he really wants is to troll, and he's done a good job of > that.

If you go to some other newsgroup such as alt.guitar and you post a message asking for tips regarding requirements for an audio input device I bet that one of the very first requirements they will point out is, along the sampling rates, noise levels.
