They're cheap enough to consider as part of the necessary equipment
for serious work on the go, I think, but not quite at the "I'll buy one
just to see if it works at all" level.
Does anyone here have experience with it (or similar modestly priced
little USB outboard cards)? I'm particularly interested to know if
such a card would in any way push the use of rosegarden+jack+timidity
on an Asus Eee from close-but-no-cigar to the point of usability.
The Behringer UCA-202 is a bit cheaper, and offers RCA analog IO, along
with optical out and a dedicated headphone jack.
I don't know about you, but RCA makes me feel better compared to 3.5mm
jacks.
I just wish it also offered RCA digital IO. I have virtually no use for
optical digital, but all the cheap gear seems to only offer it.
