not to mention the fact you could do this with any soundcard using a line in port (for stereo, a mic port would give mono recording)

Not really, newer sound cards can also do stereo Mic.

true - my point was more that even my first PC, a pentium 90, could have done this job. its an utterly redundant product.
 
line in with a rca to 3.5 mm jack?
 
its not that usesless, but its very pricey, for around 15€ i'd buy it i guess
 
so if i wanted to record something on to my computer like say a game sound i can plug this into my mobo jack then plug the other end to the usb then i can record it? if so then i want this to bad its $35
 
but you could also do this by recording the "what you hear track" or something like that ...
 
It's usually called stereo mix.

And this does just the trick for RCA:

Had to pick one of these up recently when a capture card had only a 3.5mm in :)
 
yeah stereo mix, i guess it was "what you hear" on the soundblaster live back then ;)
