Well, the only things I want for my system is, obviously, killer fireballs and death lasers.
A soundcard like that, here, it costs ARS $1.500 - $2.000. Here, the minimum wage is ARS $3.300 (I'm an artist and my income is different)... but, for you to understand how much electronic devices cost to us.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10' costed ARS $3.000 to me, last year.
I will buy a $200 soundcard. So, I have the benefits that I wrote in previous mail... and, for the moment, it will be OK.
Thanks!

benefits of using an external soundcard :
- standard plugs : TRS 6.35 or XLR ios.
- hence symmetric signal ios (possibly) : far more robust to
electrical interferences
- when i say "standard plugs", i also mean "professional heavy duty
reliable plugs and jacks"
- preamps
- headphones monitoring
- phantom power
- hi-z input (plugging guitars !)
- built-in midi ios
- on a budget : not looking weird to the sound guy anymore, impress
the chicks with all your blinky stuff.
- now add more $$$ : more ios, built-in effects, matrix mixer with
(almost) zero latency, S/PDIF, ADAT, inserts, standalone mode, fireballs and lasers, instant world domination (MADI), more blinkiness.

I'm using my integrated soundcard:

I know that Pd is processing on CPU and I don't need more than 2 inputs and 2 outputs channels. So... I "think" that there's no need to buy an external one.
Is there any benefit of using one?
I know that this USB soundcard is not a very good one... but maybe it's good for my economy. What's your opinion?
