No one who is actually trying to produce tracks should be using
Creative Labs cards. They use crap analogue components so they're
noisy, and they cheap out on isolating the analogue stage's
power from the main computer power source, so you often get
a lot of low level machine noise.
There are so many other cards out, at similar price points, that
are so much better, I can't imagine anyone going with Creative
Labs, straight up. It used to be important to be soundblaster
compatible for dos-based games, but since more and more games are
DirectX, there's no point in crippling yourself by going with
Creative.
It's even crazier to consider spending $200 on a crapblaster
when you can get a 4 input, 8 output, SPDIF and TOSLINK setup
for $399. I just bought one of these -- a Lexicon Core23.
