I don't have any direct experience with video hardware, although I hear the Matrox Meteor works well. I use a Gravis UltraSound with Jim Lowe's "vmix" program (ftp.cs.uwm.edu:/pub/FreeBSD/vmix.0.3.tar.gz; there appears to be some Meteor stuff there too) very successfully.

It's really best to have a full-duplex card; the SB cards are generally half-duplex. vmix v0.3 will apparently work with a half-duplex card but I'm not sure if it will let you speak or just listen.
