Taking a look at USB sound cards, I see that the Sound Blaster that is recommended on the hardware page of the accessgrid.org is no longer in production.  I have found the following, option http://www.soundblaster.com/products/product.asp?category=1&subcategory=206&product=10702 has anyone had any experience with this, or can recommend another USB sound card that plays well with Rat?

Thanks,

I've toyed with USB audio under Linux (which appeared to work okay) so you
could consider that as an option?
