I remember looking into this a couple of years ago.
The PCI card I
was looking at was the M-Audio Delta 1010LT. It has 8x8 analog
24bit/96Khz IO 1x1 MIDI, and a digital in/out I believe. I heard the
card worked perfectly in Linux (at least on the ALSA chart). It's a
beast, and it looks like you can pick one up boxed (but used) for
about $150 CDN.
Thank you. I'm sceptic regarding to some reports in German.
This card seems to have a very good price-performance ratio, the
customer are satisfied, but they also mention that the sound quality has
limits. And it's an Envy24 card. It's correct, this chip doesn't cause
sound issues, but at least with Suse and Ubuntu they don't work OOTB any
more, since PulseAudio cause trouble. For Maverick there were more
issues, then for Suse 11.2 and Lucid, so even if the converters and
op-amps are ok, Envy24 cards cause issues, resp. PulseAudio does.
