	My senoir design project involves sigma-delta A/D conversion
of audio and then formating and transmission in AES/EBU format.

	I have obtained from Crystal Semiconductor an AES/EBU tranmitter
chip:  CS8402.  This Supports 7 different serial input formats including
Motorola DSPs.  It also can be set for either professional or consumer
formats and has line driver output.  The CS8401 does the same, but is 
programmable.  They were very nice to deal with, too!

Crystal Semiconductor: 1-(800)-888-5016

	The data sheets also conatain a summary of the AES/EBU format.
