As for the Audio card, and the state of Linux audio....

One fpga pin (for stereo) and draining some bit-rate from the PCI/PCIe interface should work, for audio 44/96/192 KHz and 24-bit connected through a SPDIF opical toslink suffices for audiophile quality (difference in audio bits is like in 16bpp/24bpp in vga, CD quality is 16-bits). Then user can connect external (preferred) DAC/headphones/amplifiers, this way avoiding (subjective) quality issues.

for an example of external multi-rate optical DAC see:
