I don't know if anyone else has mailed you yet but I know that the sound
blaster card by creative labs will do it and is supposed to come with software
to do it. The card goes for around $150.  Also this message bounced when I
tried  to reply to it so if you want to discuss this via e-mail send it to the
address listed below and include your address. 
hope this helps
