There are two supported GM synth chips: OPL4 and Emu10k1. (OPL3 is
supported too but cannot do GM.) The OPL4 was used on ISA cards, so
if you really want an integrated synth, your only choice is a SB Live.
A colleague has just told me that USB 2.0 is supported
by the
Linux kernel starting from the latest version (2.6 I think?) only.
All more or less current versions of both 2.4 and 2.6 support USB 2.0.
