My choice would be cards based on the VIA (formerly IC Ensemble) Envy24 series of chips, which are available from several manufacturers. Cards manufactured by M-Audio (formerly MidiMan) seem to be getting a lot of attention, start at less than $100, and seem to be well-supported by ALSA (at least according to the compatibility matrix; wonderful thing, Google). There are also pro versions available, something that can't be said for the Audigy series as far as I know -- besides, only the Audigy 2 is true 24-bit. You can see a useful (and detailed) review of the low-end M-Audio card (7.1 output) at http://www.tech-report.com/reviews/2...v/index.x?pg=1
