I suspect that we'll still call them soundcards for awhile, much like we still say we "dial" a phone.



You're correct John but we shouldn't use incorrect terms especially on a forum like this one. Just MHO of course. I take my cue from the manufacturers and pros in the field. If they call it a soundcard then it's a soundcard but if they don't, it isn't. The problem with using outdated terms is a newbie comes on here needing a "soundcard". He sees all these posts talking about M-Audio, EMU, Terratec, etc and then goes to their websites and sees no mention of the word "soundcard" and thinks he missing something so he comes back here asking where is he supposed to go to check out these "soundcards" we're all talking about.
