I don't know where this misinformation came from but more than one
person has been confused about this.  The Plextor ConvertX units have
stereo RCA audio inputs built in, right next to the video ports.  The
audio capture device on the Plextor appears as an ALSA sound card under
Linux.  You do not need to have any other sound hardware.  -Nathan
