Can anyone recommend the best way of recording audio input? Are there any "sound cards" for Raspberry Pis?

Edit: I've seen Linux software for ham radio. And see that Debian Wheezy has a whole lot of apps for radio. The problem is trying to code/decode the sound.

if you do a search on here for Audio input, there are a number of ways you can get audio recorded to your raspberry Pi,

for example:

https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/search?q=audio+input

Suitable microphone for IO pins

Can I get audio input through the GPIO

or

USB microphone recording input and audio output

as an example of someone who is using a USB sound card.

    Be aware that the Wolfson card will not work with the new B+ board.

    However it is now over a year later and having been acquired by Cirrus Logic there is the new version for B+ and 2 Bs.
