CPU utilization is the main problem.
From my experience it is not actually the main problem.
Rather it is
conflicts with the vga device interrupts which cause sound problems.
Saying that, I have successfully recorded 4 channels over nfs through my
usb device with arecord as normal user. That's about as interrupt intensive
as I have found so far. I have also had it going at 64 bytes/period and had
no dropouts AFAICR.
If you want a reasonably priced option then a usb device should see you
right. If you want to buy a cheap one then send me the cash and I'll post
it to you.
Warranty is still valid, just that you will have to post it back to me
first. (Takes about 3-4 days).

Being on stage with the band in front of crowds shouting, "Get off! No! We
want normal music!", I think that was more like acting than anything I've
ever done.
