Frenando,

Thanks for the great job on Planet CCRMA.

The DDX3216 does have a sample rate converter. Having tried for three 
days to get spdif output working without success, I have reached the 
point that I am grasping at straws.

I have verified the following:
1. all analog in/out channels of the 1010LT are working
2. spdif output to the 1010LT spdif input works
3. the 1010LT will accept spdif clock from the DDX3216
4. envy24control monitor mixer is showing signals on both spdif out and 
spdif in
5. playback_9 and playback_10 are showing up in qjackctl
6. if sound source (Hydrogen in this case) is connected to playback_9 
and playback_10
     and PCM_1 and PCM_2 is set to digital mixer, I get output on analog 
1 and analog 2
7. if I connect spdif out on a Sound Blaster Live in another FC3 box I 
have to the DDX3216
   it works no problems
8. with the 1010LT master clock is set to spdif, spdif still does not work

 From reading your post, it seems my theory that a mis-match in samples 
rates might be the problem is full of holes. So, the only other theory I 
have now is that problem is with the 1010LT or its configuration.

At this point, I have not figured out how to test this. I am thinking of 
trying to connect the spdif out on the 1010LT to the spdif in (like a 
NULL plug) to see what happens (hopefully I won't let the magic smoke 
out).  I am also trying to figure out a way to connect the spdif out on 
the 1010LT to the spdif in on the Sound Blaster Live, though I haven't 
figured out listen/record the sound on the spdif in.
