Well you can sync the Tascam via a converter which puts a sync tone on to track 4 (So you only have 3 tracks to work with). However it is an old analog style sync converter which is not real accurate, and virtually impossible to find. You'd probably spend more money trying to get one then it would cost to invest in another sound card. Check out The M-Audio delta's. I think I saw the delta44 selling for under $150 and that gives you 4 more tracks that'll work in perfect harmony with 2496 (With the same control panel software and all).
