I am looking at getting a new system which will be running FreeBSD as its 
primary OS, and I am wondering which sound card I should get.

It should be noted that cost is a consideration, and nor am I a hacker. 
(I'm going to need this thing to pretty much "just work") 

I would be interested in using it for basic recording and playback. (a 
few .au and .wav files, and with the MBONE tools. (VAT, NV etc.)

I seem to hear "bad things" about most of the popular cards. I am using 
the soundblaster16 at the moment. This has been pretty good (I only ever 
need to use 1/2 duplex for VAT). However last time I looked, it seemed as 
though the most recent versions of VAT had dropped SB-16 support.
