It looks like the Audigy 2 ZS will meet all my requirements. I've ordered it from eBuyer.com for $85. If they can get the order officially processed today, there's a $30 rebate coupon I can send to Creative for additional savings. (The rebate period was for orders placed 9/12/05 to 9/26/05.) Thanks for all of your help, and thanks most for telling me the ALSA drivers support the card. Stephen.
