[time-nuts] Is this measurement for real?

Low cost crystals make reasonable thermometers.  Ballpark is 1 PPM/C.

If your system has a good ntp setup, you can use it to measure the actual 
sound card clock.  With luck (or skill) you can track that over time and 
compare it with temperature.  It will probably help to get the temperature 
probe right on the crystal rather than someplace nearby.
