I've had good experiences with TerraTec EWX 24/96 (don't know if its still in production). It is an "audiophile" card with RCA input/output jacks as well as digital in and out, based on the Envy24 chip.

Untill OpenSuse 10.2 switching between 2 different soundcards has given me some difficulties (well, not really the switching, but having two cards configured at once), but the now the happy days are here.

Wait, the default alsa device is mapped to dmix?
