For comparable quality, PCI cards generally are much cheaper than
USB or let alone Firewire cards (the latter are quite expensive). I'd go
with some Terratec or M-Audio card based on an ICE chipset. The
M-Audio Audiophile PCI is quite popular, I use one myself for a long
time now. It's only stereo, howver. The Delta cards provide more
channels. Check the ALSA soundcard matrix for other cards with the
ice1712 driver.


Are there any problems I'd be encountering if I got a M-Audio Fast Track US44010 (or simillar)?
