As you are reencoding with your commandline, you could decode the mp3 to
wave and use an editor to prepend 9sec of silence.  If you don't want to
reencode, you should use -oac copy.  In that case you could generate a
mp3 with 9 secs of silence and prepend it to myaudio.mp3 (just use cat
silence.mp3 myaudio.mp3 > new.mp3).
