There are many more differences between OC-3 and OC-192. It is true that 192 can be broken down into OC-3 (and OC-12/OC-48) streams, but it's not done by sticking OC-3 streams out on different wavelengths.
The internal design of the SDH/STM networks is pretty interesting, but as always the problem is at the switches. The major problem with gigabit+ routers is always getting stuff from one port to another. The subsiduary problem is what to do if all the incoming traffic needs to go out one port.
Ah, the joys of router design. I do miss it sometimes:-)

To get 24b/96kHz given 24bit 1KHz ADCs, simply use 96 of them appropriately clock-skewed.
