The soundblaster live and live value cards work very well with linux and can operate at pretty low latency.
They don't need any manual configuration (apart from maybe choosing which channels you want displayed in your mixer) A nice advantage with those is the ability to load soundfonts into the wavetable, so you don't need to run a software synth to do basic midi work.
