I have been happy with my edirol ua-25. 2 in, 2 out, USB bus powered.
It's been replaced for sometime by the ua-25ex, though it looks like it
is still available from some places. I can't speak personally about
whether the newer version works well or not.

There are also many firewire devices out there (new and used). Check
http://www.ffado.org/?q=devicesupport/list for supported devices. Looks
like some of the 2 channel devices are cheaper than the ua-25.

Hope that helps some,
