Thanks for the info, I'll check them out.
I kinda wanted to be able to use it in my laptop as well as my desktop. That
kinda limits me to firewire/usb.
If I can get one of those pci cards cheaply enough, I may go for it. Thanks!

I'm thinking about finally upgrading from my
cheap soundblaster+mic to
something of a little higher quality. I'm thinking along the lines of an
external firewire/usb box and some kind of low-cost mic.
I'd use it primarely for vocals, but I'd like the recording interface to
support 2-channel, for possible some piano recordings/etc. I also don't
want
to spend very much, and would plan to get it
used, on ebay.
For comparable quality, PCI cards generally are much cheaper than
USB or let alone Firewire cards (the latter are quite expensive). I'd go
with some Terratec or M-Audio card based on an ICE chipset. The
M-Audio Audiophile PCI is quite popular, I use one myself for a long
time now. It's only stereo, howver. The Delta cards provide more
channels. Check the ALSA soundcard matrix for other cards with the
ice1712 driver.
