Laptop audio

["Matthew Larner" <ckinetic@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I've made the jump from pc to mac recently and bought a powerbook.  I was
wondering if anyone has any experience with the Echo Indigo I/O PCMCIA card.
I'm looking for some audio interface (kind of in that price range) and if
the Echo isnt that great, are there any other recommendations?  I basically
want to process line in audio and play it back of course.  I'm not so
familiar with the "laptop setup" but my desktop is just a sound card
(audigy) with line in attached to a mixer, and then line out to speakers.
Is that pretty much standard?

Also if anyone has any tips for performing live, I'd love to hear, because I
don't have any experience with it.

Thanks alot in advance,
