I would choose the Delta over the Audigy any day. Like others have
said, the Creative cards are consumer cards and not really
well-suited for recording in general. The M-Audio cards are created
with recording in mind and offer you more I/O, better converters,
etc.
As for Audacity, it's easy to use, but last time I checked (a long
time ago) you could only record one track at a time (maybe a stereo
track, I don't remember). That may be a fine replacement for your
4-track if you only record one track at a time. Also, last time I
checked, Audacity didn't support real-time effects - only effects
printed to the track. Somebody correct me if this is no longer true.

How bad is 2 ms latency?
I'm trying to decide upon a sound card and
I've noticed that the Creative Sound Blaster
Audigy 2 has a 2 ms latency, but offers
"hiss free" audio fidelity at 106 dB SNR.
The Delta 410 has zero latency, but its $200 US.
Now I'm an idiot at this high end sound card stuff,
so I'm not sure what really matters. All I want to do
is use Linux Audacity to record my own multi-track
creations and convert LP 33rpm records to CD.
I'm sick of tape hiss! After 4 tracks my analog
tape machine is useless. So I bought this here
computer to get away from that hiss and maybe
record something I can listen to without grinding
my teeth.
Any adice would be most welcome!
