I know. That's what I thought, but ...

It supposedly does, though it must be pretty small. You can't tell it's  
anything but a cable. Yet many reviews claim it works.

I'll give Audacity a try. I have tried to hook it up to Rosegarden  
(which I've used for various Midi projects) but I might not be doing  
the right things to get audio in. I was hoping to try something simple

Rosegarden list. Maybe audacity is the next stop.

Thanks!
