Hi David, If you have a PCMCIA slot, and only need to use the soundcard with your laptop, I'd recommend Echo Indigo IO. I bought mine second hand for about 100 e, and have not regretted. Has worked flawlessly with all Debian based distros I have tried so far, latency around/less than 10msec with Jack. (Not to say USB-devices wouldn't work just as fine with Linux nowadays, I just don't have experience about them.)
