If you want a cheap but decent card get either a USB thing with balanced
outputs (Focusrite s2?) or go for an Asus Xonar, which at least has good DACs
and some shielding.
The X-Fi cards have, in my experience, too much crap. Lots of DSP you don't
want or need, and they're massively overpriced.

My £10 Sound Blaster Live! from 199something sounds nicer than a midrange
X-Fi if you ask me.
Cool, thanks.
Does a card that old work well with Rivendell?

Rivendell works with just about anything that's on the Linux HCL. There
are a lot of cases where even things that use the same chips as
something that's on the HCL will work.
We needed digital audio outputs to our consoles and I found some $30 USB
to S/PDIF interfaces on eBay that have been
We recently picked up a few of these:

.
I haven't had a chance to test them with Rivednell and Linux yet, but
people say they work. Decent semi-pro sound card for not much more money
than an X-Fi. Hit me up again
