I suspect SPDIF clock sour means that either SPDIF out or SPDIF in is not of high quality and you need better sound cards for both SPDIF out and SPDIF in.

This is a question I also have and never got an answer for.
I had working spdif and I rely a lot on spdif, but it suddenly stopped
and I could never get it going again. 5 months pending post on alsa
group, no response asking exactly the same thing. LAU also blank.
I know my post is slightly against the rules as it can be viewed as an
Atta Boy, but if it helps motivating someone in the know to explain this
I think we will be both very pleased.
At the moment with alsa SPDIF I get a "clock sour" error message and no
way to sort it out.
Your question lies at the heart of that, as I can maybe use a different
clock source to get spdif to work again.
