Thanks, I now have an:

Creative Labs SB Audigy 2 ZS (SB0350)

Apart from a few niggling issues: having to set the Audigy 
Analog/Digital Output jack switch off to use analogue line-out,
the kmix "Output" settings being wider than what would fit in a 1024*768 
display,
synth output being quieter than I expected,

it is ideal for what I wanted.

Arthur.
