This issue affects many more applications than just
audio. *Any* system that
requires precise replication of clock (as, for example, most any digital
telecommunication scheme does) faces this dilemma. In the end, some form
*locking*, slave clock to master, is needed. A variety of methodologies,
such as PLL (phase lock loop) exist to do this, but the bottom line remains
that some sort of hardware support will be necessary.
otoh you can always count on people to make up for nonexistent
hardware in software :)
