Well, I'd play with the extra audio buffering code - you should be able to 
force it to decode more audio and defer video decoding with that.  Logic of 
how much extra audio to decode is around line 2210 of avformatdecoder.cpp 
(the 'storevideoframes' bit).  It just compares timestamps, fairly simple 
stuff..
