Hi Andrew,
I own a Edirol UA-25 and am very happy with it, alas it does not seem to

be available from thomann.de.
The ESI MAYA 44 USB is nice and works with Linux; but has no MIDI and no

XLR in; Note that you can only use 4 I/O simultaneously.
Practically every USB-1.1 interface (with few exceptions) works with

Linux; a list of supported devices is available at:

http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdevcat.php?id=7&o=0&w=t&s=v&d=a
Before you buy, check `cat /proc/interrupts` if your computer has a IRQ

 for an USB with no other devices on the same line. Recent Kernels have

gotten much better at handling multiple devices on the same IRQ, but

you'll have less things to tweak and certainly a lower chance to

encounter xruns (aka drop-outs) if you can plug the sound-card in a port

with no other devices on it.
eg. I use usb4:
