Sure!  SoundBlaster Live 5.1 (the generic version!)
Available at your local computer ship, mine is the
manuals-on-cd-in-pdf-format, comes-with-neither-box-nor-cables version.

$35 in total, and all I needed was the 2-wire spdif cable, SP/DIF to RCA
(stereo) adapter, and a digital coax cable (looks like an RCA cable). 
Once that's all hooked up, I tweaked my ALSA setup a little and I'm
golden!
