My M-Audio Delta 44 is supported(ice1712) and fairly nice. 4 ins and 4 outs. Unfortunately all TRS connections. I've spent as much on cables, adapters, microphone/headphone preamps, and other things, as I did for the card. Certainly higher end than most of your typical SB cards. But relative to more studio grade cards, a little lacking. The sound to noise ratio is good. My laptop hooked up to my stereo system has noticeable static, very noticeable. The Delta to the stereo only has a little noise, if you crank it and put your ear in contact with the speaker grill. I'm drooling a little over an Echo Layla 3G, but I have no idea of it's alsa/linux support level. In the meantime my mobility and battery life needs has me using a Korg MR-1000. A stand alone stereo recorder that doubles as a usb-storage device. Super Duper nice, and the converters on it(DSD), shows that the Delta isn't top of the line, but still very good. Unfortunately there's no known way to deal with DSD files in Linux. At least not known to me. Not that I've tried running audiogate in wine yet.
