My trusty SB Live! is slowly giving up the ghost, and I was wondering
what people would recommend for a cheap audio interface compatible
with linux? It seems USB is a dead end - with all the USB2 stuff being
non-compatible with Linux.. firewire seems to be being phased out, and
I'm not sure about PCI?
I really just need something basic, but that is relatively quiet
(unlike a no-name cheapo USB interface I bought a while back). 1 x
stereo in would be fine for my purposes.

M-Audio Audiophile 2496 is good one for Linux:

$99 retail, Amazon sells 'em for about $70. They have "zero latency"
hardware monitoring, too.

There is some USB2 interfaces that work with Linux, I think they've been
mentioned on the list in prior discussions.
firewire seems to be being phased out,
Being phased out of laptops, but I understand it can be readily added
via Firewire cards.

Audiophile 2496 works fine.

Audiophile 2496 if you like PCI. A bit more than just 1 stereo in, but I
basically use mine for stereo in & out.
