Hi Marcos. I have a M-Audio Delta66 sound card here, although it would be
difficult for me to sample something without a microphone :-)

It is currently waiting unused, outside the computer, until I find some
time to learn how to properly route channels and handle its advanced
features with ALSA, but it is detected and seems to be supported under
Linux. I hope to be able to give a good use for it in a not too distant
future.
