You can get a Soundblaster Audigy PCMCIA for less than
100 $
I think, it got just one input but the quality of record and
playback is fine. You also have 5.1 or 7.1 output or so with
that if you need it later. I think its supported by alsa as
well.
I'm nervous about internal cards, even PCMCIA w/o a breakout box,
being noisy.
The MAudio Fasttrack I can recommend as well regarding
the
quality, but just for recording in wav quality with 2 channels
there are cheaper solutions which will work...
Which flavor of Fasttrack do you have? The models I see are
"USB", "Pro", "Ultra" and "Ultra 8R". The last
two look
comparable to the Delta 1010. The "Pro" version retails for
$199. The "USB" version is around $149 (all this is US$) but
it's max sample rate is 48kHz whereas the others are all 96kHz.
The Tascam US-144 is around $144 US, and claimed by the ALSA
matrix to work.
Thanks....
