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

I wouldn't actually recommend this myself, it will only work reliably if
both cards have wordclock.
