Just to chip in, Rivendell will work fine with anything that produces sound that will work under Linux. I had a test machine running with 2 random PCI sound blasters and its internal card working just fine.
If you're an audiophile you'll likely notice reduced quality of sound but to be honest I can't really tell the difference between this and things like the M-Audio Delta range except for I had to buy a load of 3.5mm jacks and get busy with the soldering iron in order to hook it up to our broadcast desks.
