Well, the real power in soundcard-based modes is flexibility. You can run
all sorts of different modes with the same hardware.
I just can't believe how expensive these Rigblasters and things are. $105
for the standard model? For some audio isolation and connectors in a pretty
box? $290 for the 'pro' model.
For that price, I'd expect a peripheral that actually contained a USB
soundcard chipset of its own, and drivers to avoid having to use the PC's
existing serial ports.
