Hallo,

after visiting the edirol site, i see what you mean.  i guess i
should add "low cost" to my list of criteria.  :-)

if it's not clear by now, i'm not looking for professional or
audiophile quality.  i'm hoping someone will tell me that
something like this turtle beach product works perfectly:

I can confirm, that the Terratec Aureon works very well, it's a budget
card and still will let you do the DJ on parties and has all in- and
outputs most people need.

I didn't know the TB Amigo, it looks cute, however I'd say, everyone
really wants to have line-in, which the Amigo seems to be missing.

I *guess* it is supported as well, as most cheaper USB cards tend to
use off-the-shelf chipsets that are generally standards' compliant.
Not being compliant would drive up the costs because companies would
need to write special drivers for the operating systems.

Ciao

The MAudio Transit is a card with good specs, which I believe now works
automatically with Linux. In the old 2.4 kernels, the usb system had a bug
which made it hard to load the firmware onto the card (or rather
resettingthe bus would crash the usb bus and then the computer). However I
believe it now works fine.

My old laptop got stolen and my new one has an onboard soundcard, so I have
not tried the Transit so cannot guarentee that it works. If it does, it has
gooda sound and is relatively cheap ( US 70 or so)
It is also very portable (smaller than a mouse)
