Firewire. There are several firewire interfaces that are supported.
I'm using a Focusrite Saffire pro 26. There are also supported mixers
(Mackie Onyx line) which sport a firewire interface, delivering all
channels as well as the main mix to the computer. Excellent for mixing a
live show, and delivering a multitrack to the laptop at the same time.
For a smaller budget (and 'you pays your money, and you take your choice')
there's the Phonic Helix line, which is not officially supported, but is
'reported to work'.
See http://ffado.org/?q=devicesupport/list for additional options.
