yep... you will need sometype of interface and depending on how many features and quality you seek will determine the price and which brand to go with. Imic at $40 being the cheapest but I am not sure if I would consider this options if you are at all serious about quality and such. I also don't recommend the M-Audio stuff right now either (too many probs and hearing of lack luster support) I suggest looking at Mbox, MOTU 828, Ardvark, and there are a few others that may well work for your needs. If possible, go with one with firewire connection rather than USB. I know USB has been getting the job done for 2 channel inputs but I would prefer to use the faster throughput of the firewire connections for optimum recording.
