The m-audio delta 44 on their website is only notched for 5 volt
operation... so if you have one and it is notched for 3.3volt cool,
otherwise that would be a cause for concern.

the 1010 2496 and audiohile 192 have the requisite cutout.

I have actually used a soekris as the basis for an live mp3 streaming
box, but with usb pre... my application was fairly latency and jitter
tolerant however so depending on what you're doing you may have other
requirements.
