well, it is a consumer card :). and on the bright side, it does appear
to work very well with ALSA.

i just got a STAudio (Hoontech) DSP24 MkII for my Windows 2000 machine,
and I'm _really_ impressed with its quality. i'm pretty sure there are
a few users on alsa-devel and linux-audio-dev who are using it (or some
variant of it); Hoontech also sell the DSP24 Value, which is insanely
cheap for a 24/96 card. if it's anywhere near as good as the DSP24
MkII, it'll be the bargain soundcard IMHO.
but yeah, check the alsa-devel and linux-audio-dev lists to see if they
got the card working; i know it has an Envy24 chipset in it.
