[gentoo-user] OT: External sound card

Hi list!

I'm looking for an external sound card with USB, Firewire or ExpressCard
connector. It must not be professional equipment - just something with a
working SPDIF output (optical preferred). If the card can be hot-plugged
and unplugged without ALSA choking on it - even better.

Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance!
Florian Philipp

Just as a follow-up:
I ordered a Terratec Aureon Dual USB.
It works out-of-the-box with the generic USB audio driver snd_usb_audio.
SPDIF works without further configuration, too.
