The UCA222 I settled upon to buy came today and it is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks to all for the suggestions. What I did to test recording was to cat /dev/dsp1 >/dev/dsp since neither sound card should have been active at the time. What you tend to get if you do this is the left channel of card 1 audible through both channels of Card 0 about 2 seconds after it is sent in to the input of Card 1. All this tells you is that Card 1, the new one, is capable of recording and seems to be doing a great job of it. Thanks, everyone, for all the help.
