WOW, thanks for these suggestions and informations a lot, because that saved me really a lot of trouble. so from that what you are telling me here I can get the SB 5.1 VX, like I wrote in the mail to you, and of course the much more expensive Asus Xonar would be no problem at all. The ICE1712/1724, I cant get at all and CA0106, I dont know what it is. so the question now is, which of these two - SB 5.1 VX or Asus Xonar. I have a debian stable (lenny) w/ 2.6.26 old kernel and I would prefer if the card were already supported by that kernel, so I dont need to make any changes to the system any more. thanks again Clemens, I appreciate your time and awaiting the definitive suggestion now, so we can solve the problem here. (I maybe get also some card for me according to these inf. Now I am doing it for a friend who wants to digitalize a lot of his audio, so it would be nice to surprise him positively by linux and ALSA and everything around OSSoft.)
