Well, I think the SBLive will not get much cheaper than that because for
what it does it works very well. Think of it as a piece of audio gear
instead of a piece of computer hardware. Is a 5 year old effects pedsl
"obsolete"? Hell no - chances are it's better made than a brand new
one.
The same goes for sound cards. The trend is toward cheaper soundcards
that move more of the traditional hardware functionality (mixing etc) to
software.

Not sure to which entry you are referring, but it's really a logistical
problem. I just dropped $30 (on sale!) for a SBLive! to drop in a box I use
for a synth module. That's ridiculous for an obsolete card. I know what I
paid like 4 years ago for the same thing. Does anybody know of a supported soundcard with a
wavetable that's
both currently available and not emu10k1/audigy chipset?
What is your objection to the emu10k1? This is the best supported
wavetable card. I hope it's not that stupid entry in the linux audio
FAQ.
