Thanks,
Clemens! I don't care whether the ADC is PCIe or USB, as

it does what I need at an affordable price. Either interface should
still be usable on my next computer system (low-end desktop,

later this year).
Hmm, for some reason I thought you were looking only for USB
devices. If PCI is an option (is PCIe backwards compatible?)
Thanks for replying, David! No, I'm looking for something that will
work with my next computer (whatever it might be, probably
near-low-end desktop), and I see some of the new ones don't have any
PCI slots, just PCIe, in addition to USB ports. I don't /think/
PCIe is backwards compatible. Anyway, I went ahead and decided that
the Behringer UCA 202 would be good enough for my purposes, and have
ordered one from Amazon.
Mine works fine. Gnome Wave Cleaner is easier - it
doesn't have
all the tools that Audacity has. Could be useful to run your
recordings through it first, then finish up in Audacity.
That definitely sounds worth trying. One nice thing is that I can
try numerous approaches, then decide which one sounds best to me. I
can even make this a two-part project -- once I've gotten everything
worth saving into some digital format, I can leave the digital
signal processing until some future time.
