I'm wondering what quality of soundcard is required to do recording of line-in
into digital data. 

I have a SB Live! Platinum and an PCI128 Ensoniq 1371 (cheapo) soundcard.

On the latter I tried cat /dev/dsp and interestingly I got data, whatever
that means.

What quality would I have to expect from such a recording? 

What tools are there to do digital recording?
