I have a bass I'd like to plug in my Debian box. I

blow the thing off, but I don't know if it's just the guitar amp speaker
which is not suited for such frequencies or if it's the electronic which
suffer.
Lots of basses are recorded direct-in to a mixer (I do it myself that
way, rather than trying to mike an amp). Does it have active
electronics in it? That could be a potential issue...

From what I understand, the "line in"
soundcard input shouldn't have any
problem dealing with the bass input, but
problems might arise with the
output (ATM this would be my stereo). I don't know enough about sound
processing to be sure my assumptions are right.
