My audio source is a radio tuner. A google search for ADC shows
another card . Are there external ADCs ? Once I have an ADC
connected to the digital ports, are they accessible in JACK as
port 9 and 10 ? 

Any recommendations for a Linux/Alsa supported Multi-channel card
that would support more than 8 inputs ? I only need to be able to
record mono.

My bad. 

jack_lsp shows 12 capture ports. What are those 12
ports ? I'm guessing that the first 10 correspond to the 2MIC + 6
Analog + 2 Digital ports on a delta 1010LT. Is that right ?
