[LAU] newbie to Linux audio

[Russ Button]

Very cool.  Precisely the kind of advice I was looking for.  I'm not 
hung up on USB being the only solution. 

Mona would be an ideal solution.  I'll try to score one on EBay.

Thanks!

Russ

PS> I used to have a singer in my old band that was named Mona.  She was 
righteous too!
