I'm all ears for details about the phase stability of sounds cards.
But you need to define "significant" here. Give me real numbers
and I'll believe it.
Bear in mind that we're talking about a PC-based application with
a couple of milliseconds of expected NTP time jitter, and a modest
goal of measuring frequency to ppm levels even if it takes hours
to achieve that level.
