Careful here! The M-Audio Audiophile is known to give some people
headaches: http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=2102 It needs
a current ALSA and you should carefully read the special documentation
in the ALSA docs to set up the device:

Personally I would not bother with all that stuff unless you have too
much time on your hands. There are many other cards that work
hasslefree and out of the box for many years. Take a look at the
Edirol devices or the Terratec Phase 26 instead.

Ciao
