Good linux compatible sound card

[Joel Hammer]

I am looking for a great sounding card.

I realized I was missing something with my current cards (All old
soundblasters) when I bought a new Compaq Presario (For my kid at
college) and ran an mp3 on it through some bad speakers. The sound was
much better than I am getting currently.
