PCMCIA or USB "soundcards"?
Are there any PCMCIA or USB digital audio record/playback devices (i.e. soundcards) that have linux drivers available?
I would like to do some digital recording in the field using my Thinkpad 600E, but the 1/8" mic/line audio-in jack is sufficiently loose that reliable connections are impossible, and I've got some reservations about the onboard A/D and D/A quality. The results of the recording session might end up on a CD, so sound quality does matter.
It seems to me that a USB-attached box with studio-grade A/D converters would be a nice niche product - does one exist yet? If I had time, I'd build one...

on linux USB site I noticed this AD/DA device. on the manufacturer site I realized it's an extension of a professional video stuff you can purchase separately. on the paper it looks great exept that it's not an external device as I understood but I think it should be easy to build a case for this.
anyone any experience with this device ?
here's the linux usb url:

the one which seems interesting to me is the Canopus AD/DA converter.

I believe Roland make a USB soundcard, and Digigram of France make a PCMCIA card of very high quality.
