yikes. looks like I might get whacked for not checking more thoroughly
before I bought a card, but I figured getting the one P. Davis recommends
on the Ardour site would be the safest bet. Oops. ;-)

The plan was to use linux as an outboard effects processor to protools,
using the digi9652 spdif I/O to create an aux send/ret loop in the PT
mixer, printing the returns so as to be able to build many layers of them.
No need to pay absurd prices for questionable Digi-partner beta
software...not that Im saving anything at the moment!

So let me start over:

Does anyone know of a fully-functioning spdif-capable audio device? One
that "just works" would be great after this...
