The cheapest sound card you got working with linux..

I'm looking to purchase a sound card on an extremely LOW budget. I'm not looking for a great sounding card just one that works with linux. I will use it for gaming and maybe listening to some mp3's. I'd appreciate it if everyone can name off the cheapest sound cards they got working with linux and if applicable the work arounds they had to use to get it working. And to clear the air lets immediately knock off the list any card that is over $35. Thanks for taking the time to look into my thread.

You can get a SB Live! Dolby Digital 5.1 from www.mwave.com for 29.50 and it works great with the emu10k1 driver in linux. Might be able to get the card cheaper at other places too, that is just the only place I looked.
