-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 You may have some Fun with your USB sound card, particularly with bus-powered ones. Draw too much USB power (200mA seemed to be enough to do it for me) and the ethernet port stops working properly. Not too handy. Rules out a Behringer UCA202 without a 3-wired USB lead (cut power, leave gnd, data+/- intact) between the Pi and a powered hub into which you can plug your sound card.
