I can't recommend SoundBlasters as add-on cards. The Mac's built-in audio is better; if you want multichannel support go with the Revolution or similar.
Soundblasters don't even support a CD's 44.1Khz sampling rate: they resample all input (from 48 to 44.1Khz) and output (from 44.1 to 48Khz) which is a Very Bad Idea if sound quality is even remotely important.
Neither Apple's built-in audio nor anyone else's card would dare to do such a thing. "Blaster" is a very appropriate name.
