Sound card recommendations

["T. V. Raman" <raman@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I got a SBLive recently and like it a lot.
It does not support midi under Linux --but that is no big
loss 
since it can mix 32 channels of wave audio.
This means that you can use Viavoice, play realaudio and
still get auditory icons.

The card is also full duplex under Linux so you can use
speech input and output simultaneously.
