That's hard to answer: What does "works well" and "not too expensive"
mean to you? Is a 10 $/Euro soundstick enough? How many channels do
you want? Midi? Balanced in/outs? Mic preamps? 24bit? LAU cannot do
this market research for you.

Some general remarks: Practically every USB-1.1 soundcard on the
market (except some M-Audio models) is well supported by ALSA. So I'd
suggest you check out some online vendors for a card that you like
feature- and pricewise then g**gle that model with "linux ALSA" added
and/or check qbik.ch for user comments.

Ciao
