Looking for cheap, good, well supported PCI-X soundcard

Hi

Sorry for asking an old question again, but my wonderful usenet-provider
deleted the old articles...
Since I bought a "new" mainboard with nforce 4-chipset, I'm
unable to play any games under wine (well, I'm one of Blizzards
WoW-victims) with sound enabled. I don't know if it's a problem of the
onboard soundchip or the linux-driver for it (CONFIG_SND_INTEL8X0), but
everytime a sound is played back, the framerate drops from 50 to about 5
(so I have to disable sound when playing). I didn't have that problem with
my old VIA K8T890-chipset.

Long introduction, short question:
Do you know any cheap PCI-express soundcard (since the only free PCI-slot
of my mainboard is the one directly below the graphics-card -> installing
anything there would block the GPU-fan), that has a good old stereo
output, hardware-samplerate-conversion, multi-channel-playback (of
course hardware-mixing) and is well supported by current linux-kernels?

Thank you in advance for your tips.
Andreas
