LT1010 works a treat. I agree about it being a little messy but heck its so cheap. I had tried a few usb options but none 'just worked' . Get an Lt1010 and save yourself any messing and get straight to making radio. I have no affiliation to maudio or any other audio manufacturing company for that matter :)

However, I've been seeing a rash of cheapie cards (including integrated 'cards' on mobos) in the last year or so that come with their internal sample clock locked to a single rate (48000 samples/secs seems to be typical). The assumption behind this sort of design is that a playout or capture with a different rate will be resampled in software in the driver. While this saves a buck or two in manufacturing and kinda/sorta works for single playout/capture situations (think gaming or running a playout from iTunes), these cards fall apart completely when you try to to use them in an application that generates multiple captures/playouts as a matter of course, such as Rivendell. A typical symptom that you have one of these beauties is a message from caed(8) in syslog stating that the card will not support such-and-such sample rate, accompanied by weird sounding or non-existent audio. > > As for cards that are known to work, you have, broadly speaking, two choices: > > AudioScience [http://www.audioscience.com] > Yes, they are expensive, but worth every penny. They are specifically designed for broadcast applications, and as such can handle things like lightening surges and sitting four feet away from a 100 kW MW transmitter operating at full power without picking up noise or causing other mayhem.

M-Audio's 'Delta' line of so-called 'pro-sumer' cards is one example of such. I've also heard good things about RME's line of cards, but haven't personally tested them myself. > > Remember, Rivendell is targeted for professional broadcast environments.
