[alsa-devel] Is there a way to figure out if the clocks of two snd_pcm_t's deviate? (snd_pcm_info_get_sync?)

You are correct, drivers typically configure serial audio links to be
master or slave, and what is the clock source. In SoC this would be
done in the dai link configurations. If you had a means to report this
information to userspace then yes you could find out if two interfaces
are in sync. It might be a bit more complex for USB since the standard
specifies different ways of sending audio out.
