Hallo,

Thanks. Heh, "cheap" in the case of the Terratec is US$279, appparently, which
is a lot of money for me unless I was certain I could get that much for the FA-66 when I
sell it.
I don't know what I'm going to do. I tried what I consider "cheap" -- a
$15 consumer USB dongle-- and it worked with -p128 but was way too noisy to be usable.
I saw an M-Audio Quattro for sale used, for $80, which is a bit closer to my price range.
I'll either take my chances with that or take my chances with the firewire card.

I would, however, like as low latency as
possible. I'm used to -n3
-p128 on firewire, so if I could find a USB interface that could
handle that, I'd be totally happy.
All USB soundcards have the same latency, so that's one thing you
don't need to be concerned with when choosing a USB card.
"-n3 -p128" works fine with USB: I tried this with the cheap Terratec
Aureon USB and a higher-end Terratec Phase 26. You can even get a bit
lower (I think, I had -n3 -p32 running with the Aureon as well) but
this of course requires a very well tuned system and personally I
wouldn't risk this on stage or for important recordings.
