I'm tempted to purchase a 12" G4 Powerbook soon, mainly for portable recording, but the only way to get audio into the thing would be via USB or FireWire. I'm looking to use a Jack/Alsa, Ardour, Muse, Fluidsynth setup in Linux. 2 channels is fine, but 4/6/8 would be nice. Does anybody know of a solution to this? Dan
