A very good point indeed.

I would like to be able to record stuff from guitar, midi-keyboard, 
microphone, DJ setup (via line input I suppose), and then edit the 
results with the appropriate applications. Not all at once, but maybe 
1-3 inputs at a time. The ability to play in real-time through the 
computer's output would be very important I think as I reckon it's much 
harder to work any other way.

That's all I can think of right now. I currently have an SB Live with 
the LiveDrive thing, which has all the inputs I need, but I am thinking 
in terms of general system horsepower (RAM/CPU/disk etc). Finding a 
supported sound card it's really a problem, I'll just go with M-Audio 
for that. But I would like to know if I need to get one to do what I want.
