Thanks for pointing this out! What might be interesting to think about w.r.t. RPi's (given the lack of a full TDM type interface) is the possibility of modifying this to an Ethernet to ADAT interface. I haven't studied the design in detail but it might well be possible, given the fact that the MADI physical layer is done via an Ethernet chip, to change the function of the fpga to use an Ethernet stack to ADAT protocol, rather than MADI.

Incidentally, someone once published the ADAT protocol after some reverse engineering (ah-hm) but there is much more info at

www.wavefrontsemi.com/UserFiles/File/AL_Info/AL31/AppNotes/WavefrontAN3101-10 S-Mux Receiver for ADAT Optical Protocol.pdf

and also at

I belive it might be of interest.

On a related note: anyone knows an alternative for the RME ADI-648 (MADI <-> 
ADAT bridge) ?

A few days ago two more failed at the CdS, these are the 5th and 6th. In all 
cases it seems to be the power supply. And it's not excessive temperature as we 
were thinking before - these two were operating in a conditioned environment 
and never have been 'too hot'.
