I interested in "Line In" (capture) support. Do you really expect that someone has gone through all those soundcards, determined the chipsets and tested them with alsa? Buy it and try it. If they follow the usb specification for soundcards they should work. But that is a big if. Note that they might require the loading of firmware, and it may well be that Linux/alsa does not have the appropriate software to load that firmware onto the cards. So, buy them all, test them and let us know.
