I want to get a new audios card that uses the PCI interface and supports 5.1 surround sound or higher, but I have no clue what one to get. Any ideas?

What Audio card should I get?

Shuttle AB48PN, WD Caviar Blue 320Gb, Pentium 4 OC to 3GHz, 2Gb corsair DDR333, Sapphire Radeon HD 4650, Acer 23" LCD monitor, Sparkle 400 Watt PSU.
May the Ubuntu Be With You!
It's a matter of taste really. Most important thing is to get one which is supported in alsa.
For example RME Hammerfall have a good reputation of having both excellent sound quality and decent linux suport.
EDIT: But avoid rme hdsp 9632 in particular. There's a nasty bug in the way alsa presents the card to pulseaudio.

What's even more important than free software? - OPEN FORMATS.
