I think a number of higher-end sound cards accept a "word clock" or "world clock" (I've seen it both ways) that's intended to allow syncing to an external source. The challenge I've seen is that the frequency (either in the 12 or 24 MHz range) is one that's not simple to synthesize precisely (i.e., zero offset from nominal) and with low jitter/phase noise from a 5 or 10 MHz reference.

I think it would be a great project to come up with a synthesizer block that could do that. It's been on my list for a long time, but hasn't yet risen near the top.

Yes, I'm also interested in how-to. At the moment I think it is a hack:
there is no sound card AFAIK that accepts a reference input. I have
recently bought an Acqiris/Agilent DP105/U1067A 150MHz 500Ms/s digitizer
PCI card that accepts an external 10MHz as a reference for the sampling
process.

How did you achieve this?

Thanks
