Have a look at Audigy2 Platinum EX.  Essentially, it's the same as the
regular platinum (i.e. it comes with an internal PCI card), but
instead of the LiveDrive there is an external module full of I/O
connectors.

I have the Audigy2 Platinum Ex, which I purchased for the same reason
as you.  However, I still could not get Alsa's emu10k1 driver to work
with it (neither the recent CVS version, nor the 0.9.3 series). :(  I
get the following error.  SB's emu10k1 driver works, though.
