hey there,
does somebody know a cheap, small usb-audio-interface, which works out
of the box with Ubuntu? just with one or two mic-inputs and a
headphone-out. maybe with midi-in and -out. very basic one!
i don't care if it is only available second hand on ebay...
Under a $100 USD - mine works great.

USB-MIDI has been proved a recipe for MIDI jitter. PCI Envy24 cards
(audio and MIDI) at Ebay do cost less than 30,-€, e.g. a TerraTec EWX
24/96, that has got no Mic input. Art pre-amps are very good and they
are very cheap and perhaps even a Behringer for less than 40,-€ might be
good enough, when in use with a cheap sound card.
Are you able to solder? If so and if 40,-€ are too expensive for you,
anyway a pre-amp shouldn't be an issue.
Is it a computer without PCI slots?
USB for MIDI only:
There's a Swissonic MIDI IO for less than 10,-€, that does pass the ALSA
latency test with best results. I do have one of those USB-MIDI devices,
but I'm anyway not fine with the jitter, other people might be fine with
a very good result by the ALSA MIDI latency test.
PCI cards MIDI:
You need a cable with opto-coupler. At Ebay (new, not secondhand) less
than 10,-€.

thanks. i just met this swissonic midi-thing. it didn't work. but i
replaced it.
yes i'm able to solder, but i dont know, if the result would that hifi ;-)

the ideas... i will check them!
