Ok youre right, Here is what I am using it for: 1. taking hundreds of hours of analog recordings of single people singing and recording them to harddisk then editing them and restoring them. The recordings are both mono and stereo.
2. Do the same thing with digital recordings from minidisk or mp3 recorders. 3. possibly creating demo mixes. In summation for the current project at most stereo recording and if it makes a quality difference 2496, if not cd quality. mic and line in spdif in and out why not? The main issue I was asking about was the best sound card as far as linux support. Multitrack is not needed.
