After re-reading, I see that your post was clear.

To go into more detail, I purchased the following dongles from dealextreme.com:

2. http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.624
3. http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.5831

It was (3) that I had success with. The total for all 3, including shipping, was about $12 Canadian, so 1/3 wasn't bad. I also have this one on its way:

Dongles (1) and (2) gave me these errors on x86 ubuntu, and I have not tried them on the N800:

pulseaudio[3294]: alsa-util.c: Device hw:1 doesn't support 44100 Hz, changed to 24000 Hz.
pulseaudio[3442]: module-alsa-sink.c: Your kernel driver is broken: it reports a volume range from 0.00 dB to 0.00 dB which makes no sense.
