Looking for good, cheap USB "sound card" for Linux

[Janina Sajka]

Hi, Willem:

I have a C-Media device that I purchased from Newegg for about $9.95
that I am very satisfied with, especially at the price. It's a tad too
fat to plug two such devices side by side in most USB socket
configurations, but aside from that, I have no complaints. I have
line/mic in, and line/headphone out, and that's it. Very simple, very
cheap.

In fact, it's so cheap, I picked up a handful of these, and will do so
again should I need more.
