What would you suggest instead? > Firewire. There are several firewire interfaces that are supported. I'm using a Focusrite Saffire pro 26. There are also supported mixers (Mackie Onyx line) which sport a firewire interface, delivering all channels as well as the main mix to the computer. Excellent for mixing a live show, and delivering a multitrack to the laptop at the same time. For a smaller budget (and 'you pays your money, and you take your choice') there's the Phonic Helix line, which is not officially supported, but is 'reported to work'.
