now i got interested ;-) and looked in the users manuel (but only the
german version, so perhaps i use the wrong words for it :-)
there stands, that you have to connect the cards with the cable and then
set the first with internal clock and the others with external clock. up
to my manual thats all you have to do.

i do not know, if this is right, but it is standing in the manual and as
far as i understood it, it makes sense ...

something else:
1) an idea for your search of an external s/pdif-sync: i think
midiman/m-audio had something like that for a not too high price ...

2)"I contacted the ICE1712 mantainer and author, but I had the feeling
he was
not interested adding this capabilities to ICE1712 driver.
I'll give another try!"

great - do that! after reading of your problem, i myself will also need
that, if i have enough money to look for a second card :-( 

greetings l.chaos
