Arffff 
you are going to make me lie about stopping about this subject.
Computer clock is the only one used for building the data by a software running on a computer, and all issues of non real time operating systems and of software not written close enough to hardware happen.
External clock is the one that decides and "asks" what audio samples are to be sent and is also responsible for timing the transfer.
The "issue" comes from the interaction between "building the data" which is entirely done by the computer, and "transferring the data" which is mastered by the external clock.
Here is a paper by Damien Plisson, the father of Audivarna, that provides some "flavor" of what happens at the computer level, which is independent of any external clock.
