Yah, didn't say they were. I think the OP was talking about a system to
use performing live, not recording.

Hey all,
Just to be dead clear: The RCA jack is NOT a balanced connection, and is
therefore
more susceptible to Radio Frequence interference. I'm not sure how
serious the OP
is about audio recording, but it is something to keep in mind.
Cheers, -Harry

e. I did a large number of Google searches. Found zero. This
didn't make sense to me, because I had just visited a local
gamer-oriented PC store, and had seen an under-the-TV PC box
shaped
like a thick VCR which had RCA jacks for audio. So I decided
that I
had to go beyond Google. I first checked the Creative Labs web
site's full line, and although RCA jacks weren't in any
description
(!), they were visible (!!!!) in two of the
pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. So I knew they existed. As with most
things Creative Labs which are not cheapies, the ones I found
there
were rather expensive. So I did some research using past
reports on
Linux Audio lists, found a make appearing to do very well
(AudioTrak), found a model with RCA jacks using the
photographs of
cards, found a very good supplier (floridamusicco.com
<http://floridamusicco.com>) of my chosen
card (AudioTrak Prodigy HD2), put it in, and found that it works
beautifully. Not only does it work beautifully, but the
quality of
its electronics are visibly extraordinary. I have been
working off
and on in hardware since 1981, and this card reminds me of
some of
the real beauties made years ago. DIP sockets for op-amps.
Thick
sturdy board, white in color to expose any issues. Big strong
capacitors, no cheapies. And the price is very good
considering its
capability. The card can do 192 kbps :-) I don't use it at more
than 96 kbps, and usually 48 kbps, because more takes up CPU!
