Most builtin-sound cards are junk (at least my bad experience on 4 boards)
Line-capture quality is very bad as a rule, plus many sound-chip drivers
don't support duplex (simultaneous play/record). My Fortissimo II is
in a drawer (not in use) since the stupid drivers have issues under
both oss & alsa. A sign of not supporting duplex is hanging on open
of /dev/dsp in live tv watching.
