Depending upon what you consider to be "cheap," Edirol FA-101 is (firewire)
is ironically cheaper (approx. ~$300) than UA-101 (usb, ~$450), although
from what I read the UA has a much more elaborate routing capabilities. That
being said, we have over dozen FA-101s in DISIS and they work perfectly with
Linux (ffado), offer 10 i/o, 2 very good preamps, and MIDI. If you have a
MBP you can run them without external power (they run off of the FW cable).

Hope this helps!
