If you're looking for a lower-budget option, I'd recommend one of the Echo Laylas. I've got a Layla20 (20bit, 8 analog in, 10 analog out, spidif in/out, wordclock, midi in/out/through) and I'm really happy with it. It's only PCI, though, so no laptop. I got it for $210 on ebay. It's got a great mixer program for zero-latency headphone mixes and really useful metering. I've had no problems with ALSA support, just compiled the snd-layla20 driver and it worked. good luck, spencer
