Steve,
'Word Clock' has a pretty specific meaning. (At least to me) Isn't that
specifically when you use an external word clock generator and drive the
coaxial type inputs?
Under Windows I can 'sync' two cards over s/pdif to ensure that they run
at the rate set by whichever is master. My goal is only to accomplish this
using Linux.
Problems?
Thanks,
Mark

One other thing to consider is expandability. You

this with a Mac. I'm not with Windows. Alsa actually supports multiple
cards
from different manufacturers at the same time. I
don't have it working
yet,
but with Alsa I can apparently make a
'virtual' card that combines the
AP2496 and the Hammerfall into a single card from an application's point
of
view. Cool 'eh?! ;-) You can expand later and
still use everything you've
purchased.
I wouldn't actually recommend this myself, it will only work reliably if
both cards have wordclock.
