We've been building equipment like that for over 10 years. In our DVD players and the C-5xe universal stereo player, the audio clock is the master clock. (There are actually two master clocks -- one for multiples of 44.1 kHz and one for multiples of 48 kHz.) Then the transport is slaved to the audio master clock.
In our equipment, this is done all inside of one box. But you could easily do it with a two-box system also. For evidence of this, look at Stereophile's archives for reviews of the Linn Karik/Numerik and the Wadia 27/270.
