Another thought...

For some of what I do here I have a little Alesis multimix8 USB... (built in 
USB soundcard)

One thing you can do is have two sound cards.

Set your normal system stuff to use one sound card (say the onboard in my 
case) and your recording stuff to use the other (say the multimix in my 
case) - this can work fine depending on your needs.

That little Alesis mixer is a decent price for what it gives you to my way of 
thinking.

I have a similar setup on another box with a delta 1010 and an onboard card.

all the best,
