        Recommendations needed: audio card for PC

I'm looking for a fairly high-end card (card set?) with the following
general characteristics and would appreciate recommendations from the
net.  In addition, are there particular cards to stay clear of?

1. Codecs for stereo 16-bit samples at programmable sampling rates up
   to 48kHz. Minimum sample rates would be around 5K samples/second.
   Filtering should be appropriate to the sample rate selected.

2. User programmable DSP on card. We would like significant audio DSP
   capability on the card. The DSP will be used for a variety of
   compression algorithms as well as other audio processing. 
   Availability of software tools and existing libraries is critical.
   In particular,  a variety of audio compression algorithms should 
   be available "off the shelf". Floating point would be nice...

3. The card should support high performance I/O to the system disk. We 
   would like some host processor (486) cycles to be available while doing 
   high rate disk transfers. I would hope for software I/O drivers on the 
   PC side of the link.

MANY THANKS IN ADVANCE!
