I dont need to capture multitrack, I just need one track at a time, but I
want to be able to "merge" them later. I record the drums first, then the
base, then the guitar, and later the voice. And "merge" it all :)

Yeah, from what i read, haiku multimedia system is very good, that's why I
was thinking about using it. I'll give it a try anyway. What I need is not
that complex, maybe I can figure a way to do it. The big problem is from
what you all are saying, I will not be able to use my external (usb) sound
card...
