Up to now, I thought ADAT was only defined for 44.1 and 48 kHz, but maybe
I'm wrong in this point. Ok, I believe that the hw doesn't use a restriction in
that point. But are there really any devices that can handle all those rates.

(I have asked rme a few month ago, and they told me that ADAT is only defined
for 44.1/48 kHz. But I've only asked them for 32kHz and not for the
double-speed modes, because I'm still living in a rme32 world;-) ) 

Hmm, does this info help in some way?
