 No problem, there are way too many audio devices around to keep track of!
  I've been happy with my M-Audio FastTrack Pro USB for almost 18 months now.

 Thanks for the testimony, Ken, but that's way beyond my needs! 
 Really? It was $60 used on Craigslist. 
Sorry, didn't mean to confuse. While the $60 would have barely fit the
budget, the features of the FastTrack Pro USB are more than I need. I
have a small hardware mixer with jacks for microphones and such.

  I mean, as for a cheap audio interface, I've used
a no-brand Taiwanese $6 USB audio card for years too. 
I looked at some of those. Like the Cyba one at newegg.com. I could
never tell if they were supported by Linux.
FWIW, I almost dropped the idea of a new sound device for the laptop in
favor of ordering a 1010LT for the server ...
