That's an interesting board.

On one of the expansion port there's one SPDIF link. And it looks like
the other ports are interconnections to other boards for building a
larger parallel computer. So I guess that one board would be required
per 8 channels audio link, and that linking boards together would allow
synchronizing as many SPDIF links. But I don't know if the parallel
computing capability of interconnected boards would be useful, and how
to program them...
