Thanks for the comments!  I actually have a stereo buss on the mixer that
feeds the control room output, and I can feed the buss with whatever; very
handy, for all the reasons you say!

So far so good!! 8^)  *KNOCKS ON WOOD*  8^\

Tangentially: I wish there was a cheap way to route 4x4 stereo spdif 
signals
directly into my mixer.  I've been looking at coupling spdif/aes converters
with the Behringer aes expansion unit for this purpose, but I'm wary of the
possibility of signal degredation from the conversion.  Anyone ever used
spdif <-> AES converters and can comment to the transparency (or lack
thereof)?
