Well past that there's the Video 'Studio' thingies like Matrox' RT2500 but these (maybe not Matrox' but a similar one as Matrox uses a propriatary scheme I think it was when I breifly looked into it) are what Nerdy wet dreams are made of! They cost like thousands of dollars, maybe as much as your next car ;-p.
I dun really know about ATI's proprietary scheme but I would suppose that your audio quality probs is due to your soundcard's line-in DAC not your AIW. I suggest an Maudio card, but the name escapes me right now... Anyway it's got more features than CL's new Audigy 2 at the expense of less 3d features. but it's supposed to be awesome for recording and I think (like CL Audigy 2) you can record in 5.1 off of DVD audio (not audio from DVD videos, DVD audio) but I'm not sure... maybe the s/w to do this hasn't been made yet. anyway that's what I'm trying to figure out.
