I think i'll stick with the board i originally posted the link to [even if it
doesn't work well enough i have only wasted 50 euros which isn't that much]..
I will attach a USB audio interface for testing purposes and if the
performance is sufficient for me, i'll look into attaching an audio codec to
its ISP bus.
BTW: i don't need jack to run.. I'm not even sure it can run at all on that
board. All i need will be a single application which will feed audio into
LADSPA plugins.. Jack would be overkill..

I did a bit
more research and barring the size of the board I'd say
something like the Epia 5000

should be a very good choice. Not too complex to finish, onboard
audio,fanless and such. Even a pci slot ;). Quite cheap, around €90.
No idea how capable the soundcard is, but I believe it's tested in
low latency situations atleast?
I think the ones I worked with might have been EPIA 10000s (1GHz VIA
C3), and I did run JACK on them for kicks. I think it worked but I
don't remember how it was though, and I didn't test the card on any
decent monitors. The onboard sound is generic AC-97 stuff. Some of
the models have slow CPUs and very slow FPUs, so beware of those.
I was using them for an audio-less video installation, so the testing
was just for curiosity.
