Creative Labs are slimy bastards:

1) They made the Live, claimed SPDIF digital I/O.  Turns out the card
resamples everything to 48kHz/16-bit regardless of what you tell it to
do.

2) They make the Audigy, claimed digital I/O and 24/96 operation.  Oops,
turns out it works just like an SBLive...

You'd be much better off saving for a low-end ymf-based card.

A Pope has a Water Cannon.                               It is a Water Cannon.
He fires Holy-Water from it.                        It is a Holy-Water Cannon.
He Blesses it.                                 It is a Holy Holy-Water Cannon.
He Blesses the Hell out of it.          It is a Wholly Holy Holy-Water Cannon.
He has it pierced.                It is a Holey Wholly Holy Holy-Water Cannon.
He makes it official.      It is a Cannon Holey Wholly Holy Holy-Water Cannon.
