I currently use a nice simple "Ez8" ADAT card in my 2*G4. It does 8*48kHz 24 bits optical in and out to my digital mixer.

Are there any card that are compatible with the MacPro that do similarly simple optical ? I don't need all the other IOs that come with most cards (SPDIF etc), the mixer does that a hell of a lot better. I just want raw optical in/out...

Any pointer ?
 
I use an Ezbus; discontinued now, but it's great and give me all the IOs I could possibly need...
It does support world clock, but it's also able to sync to whatever rate the soundcard is spewing (within limits). By default it is clock master.

I wrote the driver for the Mac EZ8 originaly, thats another reason I'm bitching about not having 5V slots in the MacPro :-)

One alternative would be a PC 3.3V card that has a linux driver and/or a datasheet for the chipset, I wouldn't mind writing a driver again and/or porting it. I had made pretty cool changes to have "virtual" interfaces that presents pairs of channels to the OSx apps... or all of the 8 ones...
