There is no difference between the cards as far as recording profiles.

Correct, that's the remote interface. The space taken up by that  
connector precludes using 2 RCA connectors for audio so that model  
uses a 1/8" "headphone" type connector.

The recorded audio is encoded into the mpeg output created by the  
card. No cables/soundcards are required for recording. (Of course you  
need a sound device to play back the audio).
