Differences Between USB/Firewire Soundcard As Opposed To PCI Soundcard

[jbloggs]

What are the main differences/benefits/disadvantages between using a USB/Firewire soundcard as opposed to a PCI (internal) soundcard?

What I am interested in is reagrding sound quality, ease of use, just "general" issues.

Many thanks for your help.
