WR,
   This is almost exactly what I'm doing with my HDSP 9652 & Pro Tools, but
I'm doing it over ADAT instead of spdif. I suppose you must be using the Pro
Tools ADAT interface with some other ADAT hardware? My 3 PC setup with the
HDSP 9652 looks sort of like:


    spdif
  |---------> Pod Pro
  |
Pro           Linux       GigaStudio
Tools  <====> HDSP <====> Reaktor
              9652        Linux
                ^
                |                     headphones
                |=======> A/D/D/A --> monitors


It works pretty well, but lately I'm dealing with a small number clicks and
pops getting through the HDSP 9652 using clocking over ADAT. I think I'm
going to move to some sort of Word Clock solution.
