There are works to make ieee1588 (PTP) into linux, [1-4].
That might help.
In [5], they seem to get <10us offset from a master within 2minutes
converging time. [6] gives a little different picture.

Do you (or anyone else) know the maximum allowable jitter useful for
audio?

We have to think about that, I have no answer today.

So, it amount to write an alsa driver then?
