It supports 44.1kHz mono and 22.05kHz stereo for playback (don't know about recording, I wouldn't dare to try to record something with such a beast). And yes, I'd also recommend to dump it in the toilet. :-) If you need a _cheap_ soundcard, get an SB16 clone (those are $15 or less, but be sure that it's SB16-compatible in hard- ware), or a used SB16. WSS/MSS clones should be cheap, too, and they work just as well.
