The problem is your expression. Think for a moment: you want to play the
sample faster and be perceived as 44100, so obviously the frequency has
to be lower. So the expression is 44100 * (23.976/25). And I did exactly
that with results in perfect sync. Only I did reencoded audio
separatelly and changed AVI fps without reencoding:

mplayer -vo null -vc copy -ao pcm -aofile in.wav in.avi
sox in.wav -r42294 -swc2 -t raw - | sox -swc2 -r 44100 -t raw - out.wav
mencoder -nosound -ovc copy -fps 25 -o out.avi in.avi
mencoder -audiofile out.wav -ovc copy -oac [audio options] -o final.avi out.avi

For 48kHz audio it would be 46034.
