Re: [orca-list] sound on feisty

Chaintech makes a PCI card which Newegg sells for around $30 USD which
mixes up to 8 channels of audio. The Echo Audio Indigo PCMCIA    cards
also mix up to 8 channels but are closer to $200 in cost. Both are well
supported by ALSA drivers and will do the job in a desktop or a laptop,
respectively. You may need to disable your builtin audio, or reassign it
to  secondary status via ALSA's index in your modules configuration.
