I'd also be interested in that. However at present I've deal with such
matters by having mutliple (non computer) recorders and sources. I
still tend to have the old-fashioned view that it is simpler and better
to have the recorders and sources divorced from a computer whos
hardware and software is subject to continual 'updates and changes'
that mean you'd have to keep re-calibrating and checking if the audio
i/o was still working correctly.
So USE a computer that you choose not to modify or update. D'oh!
D'oh! That rather depends on if you have any other uses, have more than
once 'computer', the timescale of use, etc, etc.
cf my posting of a short time ago. Bear in mind that what suits you might
not suit *everyone* else. Perhaps "D'oh" yourself for presuming otherwise.

TBH If I'd literally done as you say then I'd still be using hardware I
discarded a decade ago. And I'd still be limited to CDDA standard.
Mind you, if you can tell me of a soundcard that does in and out at all
rates and depths up to 192k/24bit *and* which connects to all the following
with no problems, please let me know
8-year old laptop with no DVD writer and a couple of slow USB ports
(Crunchbang/ROX)
Modern Shuttle
(Ubuntu 9.04/ROX)
Modern Laptop
(Xubuntu 9.04/ROX)
Iyonix (ARM architecture. not x86 'IBM' type hardware)
(RO 5.16)
Yes, I do use them all for audio, *and* for other purposes. Using the
recorders I have I can load recordings into *all* the above as suits *me*.
When I choose a new recorder, ditto. One change of recorder 'upgrades' all
the computers.
Then add in considering someone else who only uses one machine, and has to
do things other than simply record and play audio....
What suits someone depends on their own circumstances and preferences and
requirements. Not necessarily the same as yours (or mine). erm, D'oh...
:-)
Slainte,
Jim
