[CUBE] Voice?

[Matt Lehrian]

I've used the Griffin iMic, a Plantronics DSP-300 headset and the Apple 
iSight as sound input for my Cube.  With Panther, the DSP-300 works 
flawlessly even though Plantronics has disowned Mac users after the 
release of Mac OS X (Jaguar didn't support the volume and mute button 
on the headset cord).  There are actually quite a few USB & FireWire 
hardware devices for sound input at various quality levels.  Check out:

	http://www.griffintechnology.com (iMic)
	http://www.motu.com (mostly high-end)
	http://www.m-audio.com (wide range)
	http://www.edirol.com (Roland subdivision - wide range)
	http://www.plantronics.com
	http://www.apple.com/isight

Good luck!
