Btw, I found another solution to my problem: an external soundcard. You
can
buy USB soundcards with line and mic inputs. I'm not all too excited about
sending audio over a USB cable, since a steady throughput is not
guaranteed
100%, but it is worth a try I guess. Especially since all I hear is:
mic-in
is crappy on most computers.

My M-Audio transit sucessfully sends or reeives 2 channels on USB1 at
24bit/96K, and does 2 channels both ways at 24bit/48K. Reliably, repeatably.

Of course don't count on that if you chain other USB devices, or plug things
in and out while recording. But the basic ability is quite solid.
