My experience with USB sound cars has been limited but positive. I would think you'd want to send your screen reader through the built in sound chip and stream your music out of the USB sound card. My understanding is that the built in sound chips are pretty low end, especially in netbooks, and your USB sound card will almost certainly be a better quality sound card.
