I had a SBLive something, wich is pre-Extigy. I never had the problem he
describes, at least not to that extent. Sound quality may have been
poor, but only in an audiophile point of view, generally it sounded good
enough and there were no audible regressions of the upper frequencies or
any other artifacts. This was on windows, linux, jack and any other
program I used. Jack had a problem with resampling, but this was totally
different.

PS: Lee: I'm not saying you're not right about the resampler in alsa,
but my experience with an older Creative card suggests that this is not
the problem for Bearcat.
