I don't know about fixing your problem, but this whole setup is silly.
This is not what I would call "2pass" encoding, since you're only
doing one video pass.

Perhaps the desync is caused by the fact that you're missing -ofps
23.976 (needed for most NTSC dvds). Also it seems that the "pass 0"
for audio causes more trouble than it's worth, so try just encoding
with 1pass mode or proper 2pass (-lavcopts vpass=1 then vpass=2 with
no frameno mess).
