Soundcards are very much supported, especially the SB16 cards, those work
very well. Some of the newer PCI cards don't seem to work that well (at
least that's what I remember reading here).
As for scanners you'll want to look for the SANE project. If my
history is right, when David Mosberger-Tang started the SANE project, most
if not all the work was done on Alphas, so it should work there!
