What is a recommended soundcard for FreeBSD?

[Aniruddha]

Because of the problems with my onboard Intel HDA audio chip I plan to
buy a soundcard that is supported by FreeBSD. Question is which
soundcard has great quality, comes with hardware mixing and is
(natively) supported by FreeBSD? 

The Creative X-fi cards fits in this profile and I see that they are
supported by FreeBSD. Who has experience with these cards in FreeBSD?
Are they 100% supported? Are there any alternatives? Thanks in advance!
