What I did with mine is I run my tv card sound, linux box sound, and Playstation sound into the little RadioShack 'Video dubber' thats really a $40 or $50 mixer, and run the output of that into the line in on my sblive - then I can process all the audio coming in with the sblive.
Its actually pretty damned sweet.. I can listen to cds on the linux box, and still hear if I get mail on my other machine, etc. I keep all my machines on 24/7 so I don't have to worry about my sblive being powered down..
I wasn't able to read the replies, so I don't know if I'm being redundant.
I purchased a little 3 channel mixer from Radio Shack for like $40 or so. They call it a video mixer or something, because its also got a video input/output with a video signal booster I use for my playstation. Anyway, its got 2 stereo (dual) RCA jacks, and a 1/8" mic jack that you can use without using the video stuff, and its fairly small. I'm really interested in finding anything better, if I can ever read the other posts...
Anyone out there who is proficient in more than 2 programming languages that have to be compiled, though awk and sed scripting does count, that haven't been guilty of some sort of hacking and cracking in their lives is a total dork, and is living in a basement somewhere and afraid to face the real world. I haven't done anything script kiddie-ish in at least 15 years.
Still, I think that is one of the rites of passage for a creative, ambitious mind.
Hacking, and cracking (in every definition) do have one thing in common, they require creativity, and problem solving skills. This is good.. We need more creativity and better problem solving skills in this industry. Also, we need these people pounding away at our stuff keeping us honest. Anyone whining about script kiddies is an idiot who can't secure their boxes!!
The meanings for the words Hacker, and Cracker do seem to have changed over the years. I used to call myself a cracker because I cracked the copy protection on various programs. This required a great deal of programming skill, and a thorough understanding of the operating system, and some hardware.
I also did alot of coding, and never tried to hack into anything.
Of course, this was 10+ years ago.. The word doesn't mean anything, its the respect associated with the word that means something..

Is it just me, or has Slashdot been turning lame the past week or two?
I think I'll get news elsewhere, and third person until this lets up.. What a lame headline!!
Later!

Get a grip, and let it go!
