Most don't qualify because I want a mic in without needing a preamp and
midi as well.
I haven't found the Alesis IO/2 on the usb or the alsa page, but it
looks nice.
Others my search has turned up: tascam us-122l
(http://www.tascam.com/details;9,15,69,14.html) and terratec phase 26
(http://www.terratecproducer.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=6)
which has only a jack connection for the mic..

They aren't the cheapest but around 200 is still fine for me and I'm
gonna get me one and give the whole thing a try if I can decide on one.

Any more recommendations? :)
