The Creative Labs Ensoniq-based PCI cards are freely supported and
require only a kernel recompile.  My Ensoniq/Creative "Audio PCI" cards
fit in both RaQs and Qubes.  I've never built a .pkg out of it though,
probably because I'm retentive about signal quality and prefer
digital-only sound sources.  

So, anyone have a RaQ+USB-to-S/PDIF interface=Makes-Will-Happy solution
out there?
