We also use a PMD670, but we do all of our original recordings on 
this to .wav (48 kHz). Stereo takes about 512 MB for an hour. 
Recordings for phonetic analysis have been done in mono.

The audio is not satisfactory. If your A-to-D converter is inside the 
computer (as with mike input to a sound board), you run the risk of 
signal interference.

(Bear in mind that I am a linguist and my goal is the bets possible 
signal for the greatest number of potential uses. Sometimes that is 
more than is needed/wanted!)
