If you want very good sound quality at a reasonable price, you might consider the AWE64-Gold. It features an excellent frequency response and S/N ratio (if you're interested in details: there was an extensive test and comparison of various soundcards in the c't magazine about half a year ago [see their online index]). Since it is compatible to the complete SB product line, it is supported by virtually everything. Under FreeBSD, you should install the latest PnP patches (Luigi and Amancio did a GREAT job with their drivers!).
