Using a tcxo for a soundcard is the technical equivalent of using
twelve handpolished and individually goldplated railroad tracks for
loudspeaker cable:  It would look impressive but be pointless.

The A/D converters used and the heavyhanded analog anti-alias
filtering means, that any sort term frequency change in the order
of 1PMM/minute is not measurable or hearable by any current means:
the phase difference only shows up as one nanosecond after 44 seconds
of audio.
