The way External Clocking works is:

a) you feed in a min. +-3V pk-pk waveform. Square/pulses will work the best.
b) you have to feed in 2 pulses to "get it going", because......
c) the PIC times the interval between successive pulses, calculates the BPM, and uses THAT to
generate MIDI clock.

So, I suppose there is "room for abuse" using non-repetitive waveforms and filtered audio.
