This may be true, but I suggested a different/simpler solution a few weeks
ago, and never saw a response. I'd like to re-suggest it now.

About a third of the movies I watch show sync drift, even on a reasonably
beefy box for this kind of work. However, if I hit RWND then FFWD in quick
succession (leaving me at the same spot I was at), the audio is re-synced.

So the suggestion would be to do this invisibly, automatically, at a given
interval. The first question, of course, is whether this could be done
without a "hiccup" noticeable by the user.
