This was a pretty interesting find. I don't know how common these are but I have never come across one before and I got it for a good price.

It is an MP-878S Avance Logic ALS4000 MiniPCI Sound Card with the connector panel\module, software and original box. A bit of googling led me to this one made by Commell. I recall Commell selling lots of compact or unusual form factor boards and systems back in the early 2000s, so this makes sense as an accessory for one of those systems.
...
Does anyone know of any specific computers that the little audio connector panel would have been designed to attach to?

I just realized something after looking at the pictures again. The little audio connector looks like it was designed to be a quick swap-in for a parallel port! So, I would assume that it will fit anywhere that a DB-25 can go. Very cool!

Now for some blitting from the back buffer.
