What I'm looking for, ideally, will be a card
with:
XLR input mic level inputs
Line level inputs
high-impedance instrument-level inputs (not necessary, but would be
nice)
5.1 output (doesn't need to be spdif)
The M-Audio 1010LT is listed at $250 US but I got mine brand new for
less. Has 2 XLRs, 8 unbalanced I/Os, MIDI, spdif with DTS/AC-3
surround, word clock for sync. Works natively with FC5/CCRMA, no need
to configure anything. Use envy24control (part of FC5/CCRMA) to set
levels, etc...
