Fred,
Any clock that is variable is in a sense adding jitter. Not to mention that is so much easier to make a fixed oscillator with low jitter as compared to a moving one.
Take a look at some of the great discrete VCXO's and they are lucky to get below 10ps of jitter which would equate to at least 158ps of jitter on the Word Clock.
Heck you can get fixed clocks for less than a $1 that have really good jitter below 10hz that are at least 10x better than any VCXO.
If you talk frequency synthesizers then they are even worse... but remember a lot of the best VCXO's don't have the pull range required for audio.
Thanks
Gordon
