If need drivers for them check out : http://www.opensound.com/ or your
distro's home page. For example I know SuSE has a hardware database will
all known hardware that works with their distro. (The hardware should also
work with an other distro since they all do run of the same kernel under the
hood)
I haven't tried any of the cards first hand.
