"Almost all will" -- I think that is said a bit too much. Avoid the
latest stuff, e.g. Aureal chipsets, Solo-1, Yamaha... If there is
support at all, it is though the shareware drivers from
www.opensound.com. www.alsa-project.org has a blacklist. At
www.suse.de there is an extensive compatibility list for all kinds
of hardware (you have to browse around a bit to find it).
