I did a bit of searching, and I found that if I relax my requirements a bit to include PCI cards, there is another card called HT-Omega Claro that would seemingly fit the bill, and it's significantly cheaper than the Xonar. Do you (or anyone else) happen to know if this is also fully supported by ALSA?

By the way, does the volume control work on the digital output stream on these cards?
No; on most cards (including these ones), the digital output does not have a volume control because this would reduce the precision of the samples; the volume is supposed to be controlled by whichever device does the digital-to-analog conversion.
