   BTW, does anyone know of a lower-end PC soundcard that CAN do
   simultaneous ADC/DAC?  Most of the common ones can't seem to.

According to the soundcard roundup that Keyboard magazine did, there's a slew
of new cards coming out... if you have a little patience, you may find what
you want.  Personally, I'm waiting for the Ensoniq sound card that has 32
voices, 1 MB of voice ROM (I think?), and dual stereo (4-track) CD-quality
playback and recording for $349.

And the Ensoniq card is supposed to be able to do simultaneous playback and 
recording at that speed. 

I feel better about Ensoniq (a REAL synth maker with a rep for insane price/
performance value and good stuff) than Gravis (a joystick maker???), so in my
book Gravis loses on this buy.
