Brilliant! Of course - so obvious when you think about it, like all
the best ideas  Sampling rates and timing could easily be made more
accurate than anything but terrestrial atomic clock based ones.

The idea could be extended to indoors if you synced the local (per
speaker) clocks from LF radio time clocks like the MSF signal from
Rugby. This would be no different from the system used to control (on
average) the sample rates of digital microphones like the Neumann
tlm103D 
(http://www.neumann.com/?lang=en&id=current_microphones&cid=tlm103d_description)
and would certainly be more than good enough for this sort of
application.
