I have the Terratec Phase26 and I know some other Linux users who have
it as well. It is fully supported and works very well. I used it in my
concert at the Linux Audio Conference. The hum that you can hear at
the end of the aiff-recording [1] is not the Terratec's fault, we had
some issues with another machine plugged into the same mixing desk
even with a DI-box, that may be what you hear there.

Some vendors carry a version of the Phase26-package without the
useless Windows software CD bundle. This version is even cheaper than
the full retail package - I paid 139 Euro - and a real steal.
