What's the best strategy for synchronizing alsa between multiple
machines within earshot of each other? I can synchronize the CPU
clocks to microsecond accuracy. But how do I deal with drift in the
audio clocks? Can I periodically stop the stream and restart it using
CPU clock? That would compensate for the audio clock drift.
