[linux-audio-user] recommendations for soundcard ~ USB

[thing]

Hi,

I am looking for a recommendation for a sound card preferably USB. I 
need Mac (OSx10.3) (hence USB or even Firewire) compatibility as well as 
Linux, could be RedHta, Debian or Suse's version (Id prefer Debian or 
Redhat). Mac  compatibility is important (but not essential) I am 
looking at the m-audio range of USB devices, any others? do these work 
in Linux?

What about Creative's new 1820 PCI card? (for Linux)?

regards

Steven
