Hi Derek -
One quick hint that I've found in working on the audiopint project
(audiopint.org) is that the audio chipsets on mini-itx boards do not
tend to be very high quality - specifically, they are noisy - you can
hear memory access, and other capacitive coupling from traces on the
motherboard. So I always use a iMic USB audio interface when I build
up an audiopint - any good-rated USB audio interface that's linux-
compatible should do, since it will isolate the motherboard noise
from your analog signals.
