The Behringer UCA-202 is a bit cheaper, and offers RCA analog IO, along
with optical out and a dedicated headphone jack.

I don't know about you, but RCA makes me feel better compared to 3.5mm
jacks.

I just wish it also offered RCA digital IO. I have virtually no use for
optical digital, but all the cheap gear seems to only offer it.
