There is no way you can sync audio crystal to rtc without external connection. Besides, rtc isn't that precise either, it is normal to lose/win a couple of seconds daily with normal x86 hardware. Hence RTC can be equally blamed "broken" as soundcards.
What you can do (alsa does it I believe), is to adjust the ratio the driver
uses to synchronize rtc/soundcard. You still won't get it perfect though;
to a achieve "really correct speed" you'd have to synchronize both to a
precise external source.
I DON'T GIVE A DAMN SHIT whether there is a 1% difference between what rtc and
soundcard believe to be "the real speed of time". I want fluent video and
that's it. Current aviplay worx wonderfully on hi frequency monitor, but as I
watch 99% of the stuff on a TV, it isn't enough for me.
