Well, not necessarily. mmap support in oss emulation (I forgot to
mention that part!) does not seem to be universal, and it's almost the
only thing I care about in this card. I play quake3 quite a bit (yes,
still!); it's so old it uses OSS only and requires mmap access to the
card.
Just to name one example that doesn't work, the nVidia CK804 AC'97 on
my motherboard mostly works - but mmap doesn't work, so no quake.
Some preliminary googling turned up several other cards that
apparently won't work for me (AudioScience cards, Fortemedia FM801).

Oh well. Any recommendations for a consumer-grade
card?
My needs are modest:
- a place to attach the cable from my CD-ROM
- Quake3 can open it using mmap
- headphone output sounds tolerably decent
- hopefully will last another 4 years or so :)
For everything else I use a Delta 66.
Anything that costs less then 50??? should suffice if there is a
linux-driver for it...
