I have had very nice results using a Tascam US-122 and
GNU/Linux for several
years now.  A couple items to note; using USB2 it works
"perfectly", however
using USB1 I will occasionally get a "dropout".  

Also, it appears that Tascam is now releasing a US-122L and
a US-144, which I
believe have different chipsets (and at least the US-122L
did not work with
Linux as of a couple months ago).

I have an Maudio Transit USB card. While not perfect it
actually works well
with Linux, and is high quality ( low distorition). It cost
about $100 Cdn
5 years ago. It has only a very simple single stereo input
and output. It
is supposed to support digital in/out, but I have never used
that.

Maudio has a problem in that they are highly non-supportive
of Linux and
seem to feel that if anyone in the world realises that the
people in the
organisation have two legs, their business will come to an
end. (Ie, they
regard everything even the most trivial as secret
information which they
refuse to divulge to anyone). As such you may feel that it
is not a good
idea to support them.
