lots of things to ask:
mini-jack isn't a good think... however I work with a USB drive
constantly connected to my computer and I use a USB MIDI keyboard...
Should I worry about the latency? (15ms is perfect for me)
Is it worth using cardbus cards? Are they really better"?
For the Edirol suggestion I found "EDIROL UA-25 USB Audio and MIDI
interface for Music Recording" and there is a good review pointing out
some problems with the dynamic range and the input compression...
Do you know any card which solves this?

On the other hand, what about Mackie Spike Digital Recording System?

Finally I suppose that Firewire won't work on linux isn't it? PreSonus
FIREBOX looks awesome... ;( snif

USB. Edirol devices usually work well. Or the
Tascam US-122
which has an own driver in the kernel.
Maybe the Echo Indigo I/O? A nice, affordable, reliable, well-supported
stereo mini-jack in/out PCMCIA (sorry, CardBus) card.
It will almost certainly give you better performance and less hassle
than a USB device, but you won't get much hardware flexibility, you'll
The tascam has excellent pre-amps (at least for that
money), XLR-inputs,
analog inserts, phantom power, direct monitoring, no software-controllable
mixer (no hassling with several different programs each doing their settings
and disturbing your sound) and is fully powered over usb (even phantom
power). And with a recent computer you can get 5ms latency easily, at least I
get them with my pc and the tascam.
What else do you want except more channels?
Maybe better for on-the-road recording than an
effects box, but worth a
look.
The tascam is good for on-the-road recording as well as an effects box, I
already did both these things with it. And used it as mic-preamp for
recording with my bigger soundcard when I needed more than one stereo-out for
a monitor-mix...
