You must wait for it (if we can fix it, it would be 1x too)

MPlayer's current A-V sync code uses audio card as timebase. but ao_pcm
isn't an audio card, so it has no timer -> mplayer's timing is fucked up.

we should implement video-based and rtc-based timing, and also audio-only
playback. but you must wait (or do it yourself), it's at low priority.

btw
if you need audio of ac3 or mpeg stream, whu don't you use -dumpaudio,
and use mpg123 or ac3dec to convert it to wav ?
