The SBLive card might be a good solution. It includes an on-board

Beware, the current SBLive "24-bit" uses a different chipset. It
works with ALSA, but it has no hardware synth and thus no reason to
exist.
Thanks, Chris, that's good to know.
Does anyone know whether they still make the emu10k1-based SBLive at all?
Don't know about that, but there's a bunch on eBay selling for cheap.
Chaz'll still need that adapter though. Probably costs more than the card.
For that matter, an M-Audio 2496 can be used (and has a decent MIDI
interface), in conjunction with Fluidsynth. The 2496 cards are only $99
these days.
