The drivers for the newer Creative sound cards (such as your Audigy) are incomplete. More particularly their timing querying is broken which might cause drop outs during playback. Creative is very uncooperative to Linux developers. Don't buy Creative. If you did than it is your own fault that things don't work as intended. Also, why buy a Creative Sound Card anyway? Onboard sound cards are very capable these days. No need to replace them unless you fancy gold cables.
