As to cards, it doesn't need to be amd64 specific, if alsa supports it, they will work. For decent sound most cards with an envy24 controller and 24-bit DACs are pretty good. You;ll use more cpu to run them, but nothing significant. One card is M-Audio's Revolution 7.1. Another I like to run the Headroom's Bitwise headphone amp. It hooks up via USB. While the DAC is only 16-bit, it does a really grest job. Plus it's outside the box. Beware USB attached sound cards, while some work, many require firmware downloads to function.
