If you use SRC you pretty much violate AES specs as you lose bit
transparency. SRC is not a solution, it is a last resort.

In a well controlled situation like this, sound cards should be synced
in hardware. All professional sound cards support this (some can even
sync their buffers). It really isn't rocket science.
