Good prosumer PCI Envy24 stereo cards coast at Ebay around 30,-=E2=82=AC only. Some of those cards a= re good enough for some professional work. I'm on Linux using a RME card, but if somebody mentions a driver, I could boot to my unused FreeBSD install, take a look if the driver is available without upgrading/compiling and test my TerraTec EWX 24/96 (30,-=E2=82=AC Envy24) cards SPDIF. On Linux I'm using those cards as MIDI interfaces only, so I can't test the TTL/electric SPDIF, just the directly available optical SPDIF. Those cards for sure aren't professional cards, but they are at least prosumer cards. The OP might consider to use Linux instead of FreeBSD for audio. Regards, Ralf
