I am surprized. I would have thought that most sound cards at least with line
input, would do stereo. The microphone inputs will quite possibly be mono (
using the spare line for powering the microphone fet), but line in should be 
stereo.

My old Maudio Transit usb had stereo input, but I think it is not made
anymore.

Another would be the Behringer UCA202 for about $30 Is that "reasonably
priced"?

What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you? Monitors network bandwidth and traffic
patterns at an interface-level. Reveals which users, apps, and protocols are 
consuming the most bandwidth. Provides multi-vendor support for NetFlow,
