Hi Linux Audio Users,
I am looking for a "USB soundcard" (if that has a meaning at
all).
Here are my needs:
I want to record myself.
I want 24 bits / 44.1KHz.
I want a basic device with one stereo input plug (minijack or RCA)
and one USB output (fast enough to send audio digital data to the
comupter in realtime).
Cakewalk UA1-EX does exactly what you describe and is plug-and-play
recording with Audacity in plain vanilla Ubuntu.

Fritz, thanks for your reply. The device looks indeed
almost perfect (expect those little knobs that may
well break with time; hopefully that won't be a big
problem).
I just took a look at the manual and there seems to
be a "special driver" for 24 bits processing for win&osx.
Do you (or anyone on the list) know if ALSA handles
that case? I mean, if I buy the thing but it can only
work in 16 bits mode, that won't be very useful...
I digged a bit on the web, nothing conclusive.
So if someone is using this device in 24 bits mode
(to record music), show up!
Regards,
Cédric.
