The 9-ping connector is for S/PDIF and MIDI connections.  The link you
gave shows the connector that goes to that port.

The 2496 only has the 2 mono I/O channels.  If you want more, you 
can either connect a mixer and mix down to 2 channels, or step up
to a Delta 44 which has 4 I/O channels.

All the M-Audio Delta cards are well-supported under Linux.  I went
from a 66 with the Omni I/O box to my current setup of 2 Delta 1010s
and have never had a problem with Linux handling them.
