Look for supported hardware toward the bottom.

Haven't tried a mic. Tape deck was direct connect. I've done this
before with this tape deck and a desktop machine.

I'll give it a try.

It's another data point for AllWinner support being added. Also, it
helps me be able to run in a VM to develop software without constantly
writing SD cards and booting physical hardware.
