  Dear all,
 it turns out that my device, USB Audiophile, does not seem to
 be able to capture audio, which makes it almost useless for me.
 Now the question is: Can you suggest a reliable USB soundcard
 that works well with Alsa in full-duplex? Say between Eur200-400?
 
 Are you sure it doesn't work with capture? What does jack say?
 Maybe you don't have reading permission on the device. Try chmod a+r
 or setting up a group for audio and adding your user.
  thanks a lot

I checked on the specs and it says 'native USB compatibility' so it
should work, IMHO.
