USB audio drivers?

Are there any USB drivers that will handle audio input via USB? I am 
thinking about a USB turntable for converting LPs to WAV/MP3/OGG etc.

Thanks!

As far as I know, USB is a digital input.  Assuming your turntable has a 
magnetic cartridge, its output is a low level analog signal.  Further, 
it is not flat but rather requires RIAA equalization.

The way I do this is to connect my turntable to my stereo amplifier's 
phono input and run the line output (some sets may refer to it as tape) 
to my computer line input.  I then use PlayRec to convert the audio to 
WAV files.  These may be edited (broken into tracks) with CopyWave. 
Personally, I then convert the WAVs to FLACs for archival storage and 
OGGs for playing from the hard drive.  PlayRec and CopyWave are 
available  from http://www.ca-arnold.de/e/index.html .

Not to my knowledge - but feel free to write some  :-)

My workaround for creating digital sounds from LP is totally hardware 
based - I added a cd recorder to my HiFi system  :-)

Probably not what you want, however I record my old LP's to CD as 
follows. I pump my Pre-amp output into an input on my SB Live! card 
and then capture the track via LBMIX. From there I can edit and 
convert it into other formats, and then burn them to CD. It works fine
to capture my important old vinyl to CD. All S/W is available on 
Hobbes last time I checked.
