Hi

My MythTV box for some reason the sound card (integrated ATI IXP, which 
has been nothing but trouble) stopped working today. Not having time to 
return the mobo for a repair, I decided that I need a new audio card.

The first card I looked at was the Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit. Then I 
heard that it was seriously crappy under Linux, and that it doesn't have 
a hardware mixer.

The second card I've looked at is the Creative SB Audigy 2 Value. Is 
that card any good? Is it even supported under Linux? I only found the 
SB Audigy 2 ZS value in the ALSA database. Is this the same card as that 
one?`

Any other recommendations are welcome, but keep the pricetag under $50 
or so.
