I bought a "Ensoniq Audio PCI" for >$40 a year and one half ago and it 
has been really nice for me. It uses the 'es1371' kernel module. It 
works on every OS I have ever tried, Linux, NT, FreeBSD,etc...

As far as quality, it is respectable. I have it hooked up to a subwoofer 
and a pair of JBL studio Monitors and it sounds pretty goot to me. If 
anyone knows of a more 'audiophile' grade card that is well supported I 
would love to hear about it.
