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.


The good ones are Firewire. A few USB2 ones are appearing, but
mostly the market has gone to Firewire.


To do this job properly, you need a source with a proper Line Out, a
mixer to allow optimum level settings, and a soundcard with Line In.

Anything else will be a kludge. How important is quality to this
job?
