Front Computer Audio Jacks with a soundcard

Does anyone know of any soundcards that allow you to connect it to the front audio jacks of a case (and microphone jack)? I know a lot of on-board audio solutions allow this, but I haven't seen any PCI sound cards that allow this feature?
 
I was building a computer for a friend and he had this same problem. Since his case had already strung mini jack extender cable through the case, my simple solution to this problem was get a stereo Y splitter for less then 5 bucks at radio shack. Put the splitter into the sound card and have one leg go to your speakers and one to the cable that goes to the front. That way he could have have his speakers plugged in, and if need be plug his headphones in the front of the case. (He turned the volume down on his speakers, then used the volume control in windows to control his headset volume)

He put the mini jack cable (for the mic) directly into the soundcard since he has a headset.

If you have a 4.1 system, and you didn't need a front mic jack, get 2 splitters and send the front through the normal audio jack in the front and the rear audio through the mic cable.

But to truely answer your question, I haven't seen any soundcards that do this, probably because i've never looked to see if any soundcard had this feature.
 
the CHAINTECH AV-710 have them, they're awsome for music, but rather plain for games
