If you don't need digital I/O then the Delta 44 is
just as good as the
Delta 66 at a somewhat lower price. If you want 8 I/O channels then I
would spend the extra money on the 1010 (not the 1010LT), the DSP 2000
why not 1010LT? because of the external box (no computer noises in
converters)? looks like there is a fairly big price difference ($400 vs.
$800) between 1010LT and 1010

C-Port, or the EWS88MT. The MIDI support for the DSP
2000 is apparently
not there yet (I don't do MIDI) so you probably don't want that. I'm
not sure about the EWS88MT. M-Audio seems to be the best choice at the
moment.

I would appreciate some advices as to what HW
do I need to do some
simple recording.
Here's what I would like to be able to do:
tasks: record a guitar, possibly other instruments (not neccessarily
at the same time), record old vinyl from turntable etc. [using linux PC]
in:
few audio channels (I can think of using 2 or 4 so I guess I should
plan for about 8?)
midi
out:
just stereo audio? or optical digital something? does it make sense
to have many outputs?
midi
other:
full duplex, I think built in midi wavetable synth is good enough for
me, not sure about external mix (I've read recommendation to have one
but I'm not sure why).
I've read that Delta* cards are fairly good and well supported under
linux - looks like delta 66 is what I want? What about Delta 1010-LT -
same price, more in/out but no external box (=lower sound quality?).
What about midi? I'd like to have midi in/out and wavetable synth
(not sure if I really need synth). The sync-ing midi and audio is done
by apps so I don't have to worry about cards working well together?
I can read the specs but I'd really appreciate practical advices
since I have almost no experience (well, I have few audio cards:-).
TIA
