I use the Roland UA-30 for all my audio I/O. It's been replaced by the 
Edirol UA-3D. The newer one is missing some of what the UA-30 has, but I 
can't remember right off just what. They look essentially the same. A 
internet search will turn up lots of info on both.

If you are going to spend money along this line you might want to look 
at the Edirol UA-5, more goodies.

All of these turn up on ebay. I've even seen the UA-30 still listed in a 
few catalogs, so there may be stock around.

The UA-30 is like a quality soundcard that hooks up to USB. It was the 
first of this sort of thing, there are quite a few around now from 
several manufacturers. It's got line level analog I/O, mic/guitar input 
with it's own gain control separate from the gain on the line input, 
optical I/O, coax I/O. And has a headphone output with it's own gain 
control. Handles 44k and 48k sampling rates. Powered off the USB. Mine 
currently connects my powered speakers, my Sony MXD-D3 CD/MD combo deck, 
and as needed my Portadisc to the G4 via optical link. And runs my 
headphones.
