What I am really looking for is

    a) simple sound card, medium sound quality, PCI, < 50 $, supported by
       FreeBSD

    plus

    b) any kind of interface to read in audio data digitally via coax
       SPDIF from my DAT with sampling rate 44.1 kHz and WITHOUT
       any D/A/D processing and mixing; supported by FreeBSD
