I got a Behringer UCA202 :
http://www.behringer.com/UCA202/index.cfm?lang=eng
(Burr-Brown/TI PCM2902 chip inside) which is low-end "musician quality"
USB sound card and has quite a good sound quality (good SnR ratio, low
THD and a wide frequency response : see the manual for the actual
values). And it is pretty cheap, i found it for around 30€ in a music
shop. Of course, working fine with linux-usb-audio. Except for a "small"
bug that i could maybe point someone's attention on here :

which is quite annoying (appears only on ppc apparently).
But the quality is worth it for such a cheap device. No more distortions
in loud and high sections, a bit less background noise. Tested with a
Sennheiser HD495 headset.
