On the topic of sound cards: can anyone recommend
a
cheap external USB

lots of outputs. :)

Not much to recommend, basically only one candidate at the

... mmmm a USB2 audio device is not exactly linux friendly.
Below is a copy/paste of the requirement page. If I were interested in a USB-2 audio
device, I would bring a linux laptop to a retailer's store and test the beast on the
spot before purchasing it.
Cheers!
