I am also having audio/video sync problems with latest mplayer, when
watching or recording TV with mplayer or mencoder. The video is delayed.
I am using a PixelView PlayTVPro card.

With mplayer I use the commmand line:

$ mplayer -tv
+on:driver=v4l:device=/dev/video0:norm=PALM:width=640:height=480:chanlist=us-cable:channel+=9

The problem does not happen with xawtv, and did not happen with
prior versions with mplayer.

Something may have changed in the code of mplayer which is
causing the problem.

Regards,
