[Dream] Cheap soundcard recommendations?

[andrei.henry at utoronto.ca]

in this context, "HD recording" means "hard disk recording" - machines with
hard drives in them just like a computer but they do only one thing, and
that is recording audio.  you can record to tape, to wax cylinders... or to
a hard drive.  and that hard drive can be in a general-purpose computer, or
in a dedicated HD recorder.

i might be wrong here, but HD recorders seem to have lost some popularity
ever since the price of drives have come down and one can generally do that
same thing with a computer.
