[LAU] need advice for soundcard

[fred]

Hi list,

I'm planning to buy a good soundcard and like to have your opinions, if 
you please.

The goal is to have 2 in, 2 out, MIDI, and maybe digital coax plugs. 
Full duplex, integrated DSP, ASIO2, latency "zero", 24bits/96kHz ability 
have to be there.

Choice from now is M-audio Delta audiophile 2496, but your suggestions 
are really welcome !!

Oh, forget to say it have to run under Linux ;-)

Thanks for replies folks.
