Sorry, didn't mean to confuse. While the $60 would have barely fit the 
budget, the features of the FastTrack Pro USB are more than I need. I 
have a small hardware mixer with jacks for microphones and such.

I looked at some of those. Like the Cyba one at newegg.com. I could 
never tell if they were supported by Linux.

FWIW, I almost dropped the idea of a new sound device for the laptop in 
favor of ordering a 1010LT for the server ...
