As for which cards support multiple audio streams, look in the PCI cards.
Part of the reason is that ISA does not offer the bandwidth needed to get
the job done. There has been limited success in implimenting this on ISA,
but not a lot.

I would just look at the specs of the card. Things to look for in a card
today are:
PCI bus (The latest standards call for no ISA bus to be present.)
3d audio support
multiple audio streams
Linux drivers available.

Again, look at the cards available and then look to see which you are
looking at have Linux support. The AWE64 is quite popular. But there are
two chipsets in use, and only one is supported in Linux. Buddy found this
out the hard way.
