Internal soundcard for KDE, and thne I'm using an M-Audio Delta 1010 (which 
uses the M-Audio 2496 sound card) for JACK.  I've found M-Audio hardware 
works very nicely.

If you want to go all out, the linux-audio lists (-dev, -announce, -user) 
provide excellent info on pro audio with Linux.  Also, a new wiki is being 
worked on for all Linux audio, which should be up in time for LAC2007 (March 
22-25)
