I have to disagree with this statement.

Core sound makes a SPDIF CF card that can record up to 24 bit 96khz. It's used by a lot of pros in the industry.
Thanks for the feedback!

Note the word 'direct'. The Core card digitizes the audio, and only after that sends it over the CF bus. This is certainly possible because it's simple data communication. However, (it seems) it's impossible to send over any non-pre-digitized (that is, analog) signal over the CF bus - it's just not have a direct, analog PIN (or PIN's) to communicate analogue data with the outside world. If it had, someone would already have come up with a CF-based GSM card/radio/TV receiver/etc card that is also able to route its sound through the PDA.
