[time-nuts] disciplining sound card

[lists at lazygranch.com]

I'd suggest hacking USB type soundcards. It is certainly easier to get at the guts.

There is a Chinese card peddled by a few vendors on ebay that comes in a blue metal case. You can slip out the PCB. The card uses CMedia chips.  

This is the first one I spotted on ebay:

I have an older version. These CMedia based cards work well under ALSA.
