I'd suggest you to get any USB 1.1 class-compliant card with good DAC/ADC. I've got a m-audio mobile-pre that sounds very good. > I don't care about recording on the PC, just playback. > > I did find http://www.behringer.com/UCA202/index.cfm, but I have no idea > what's inside, so I don't know if it'll work under OpenBSD. i've never tested it, but from the manual it seems to be a good card; my experience with other behriger gears is that they have good quality/price ratio. Since the card is "driverless" it's probably class compliant and should work on OpenBSD. If you can test it, let me know how well it works. cheers, -- Alexandre
