No not yet, but might give it a try when I am done with some of my
current projects.

Well, like I said, on the Linux side, I am using an RME Multiface II
(with PCI interface card), and on Windows I am using an e-MU 1010 card
(it's very barebones, much cheaper than the RME), both support ADAT
I/O, and you need a TOSLINK (optical) cable between the two. I don't
have any monitors connected to the Windows machine, everything is
routed into the RME and I monitor all of the audio through that.

You should be able to accomplish the same thing with netjack, with
fewer cables and your slave machine doesn't even need a souncard.
