Either

1. Sync the HW sample rates to an explicit or implicit reference
   provided by the network protocol. Requires special audio HW.
   A few normal audio interfaces (e.g. some RME cards) would allow
   to do this as well, but I know of no software that uses this
   capability.

2. Resample at the receiver, as njbridge does.

3. Use some other trick. E.g. for VOIP a classical one is to
   modify the lenght of the pauses between words or phrases.
