Will try that with a couple of hammerfall 9632 we have in the lab before
buying the (two) AES-32.
Any recommended documentation or advice?
(Apart from this: http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/TwoCardsAsOne)
Thanks

Pau,
Right. But the MADI-to-AES alone (the ADI-6432) costs about 2800€. Far
beyond 1) and 2).
the system i need to build should have 8 AES
inputs and 24 AES outputs.
For that, i see two basic approaches 1) using two RME AES-32 (*) cards
in world-clock synch and 2) using a RME hammerfall with 24 ADAT
input/outputs and then several 8ch ADAT<->AES converters such as the
Aphex 144 (+), which costs about 400€ each 8ch unit.
3) a MADI interface and any MADI-to-ADAT converter you want What are those AES ports needed for anyway? I mean,
this are 16 channels
in and 48 channels out. With that number of channels, using AES just
becomes a pita. Think of the cabeling alone - or use Tascam-style 25 pin
DSUB connectors.
Yes AES makes it all over complex but it is a requirement not a
decision. It is all about connecting to existing boxes.
Option 1 seems
to me simpler and cheaper but i ignore if is feasible and
reliable: Have anyone had good experiences using two clock-synced RME
cards with jack?
The driver can start the buffers synchronously, so you have
sample-synchronous output. To have jack working with multiple cards, you
can either use alsa magic to combine the cards, or use alsa_out (with
disabled resampling).
