Ok. So there are 3 sound connectors used on the sound card. This presents a problem for laptops which have only 2. Of course, my laptop doesn't have a parallel port either. Note to people designing hardware -- design for the interfaces computers will have when the design is ready, not the computers you already have. Parallel ports are going the way of the dodo, replaced by a combination of USB, ethernet, and bluetooth.
I've already talked with Gerald about one aspect of this, the lack of a mic input on my M-Audio Delta card. A combination of a line amp and a switch using one of the spare control outputs should provide a workaround for that. That would probably also work for the two-plug soundcard on a laptop.
