We have an m-audio Fast Track Pro

http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/FastTrackPro-main.html

It is supported as a device under linux, but is not 100% supported. We needed 
to recored in a non standard 48Khz. We were not able to properly record in 
Linux (tried just about all distributions). 

We use it once a week to make audio recordings for our IVR project. If you 
wanted to borrow it to try it out, I would be happy to loan it, as long as 
you could pick it up and return it between our recording sessions.
