In a windowish - and simplistic, as far as I'm concerned - view, the stream of data would be input in the DVB source filter of a Directx model, where one ouput pin of the filter could be dedicated to provide the TSC data, if any. Could that be feasible in a linux implementation too, or, as you might have meant, just the TSC data is not available out of the DVB card available so far? The TSC data is available, and (if necessary) with slight driver modifications the receive timestamps are accurate enough to build a SC PLL in software. But you have to do this part at the receiver side (i.e. the DVB card, in this case probably the budget cards are even easier to handle). The more difficult part is to synchronize the playback part (audio sample clock and video clock (frame rate)) to this new system clock - this is simply not possible with any of the PC hardware I currently know about. (Except the FF DVB cards, which do it internally.)
