Well, to prevent audio from syncing itself (incorrectly) to the video,
you could use"-mc 0" on the command-line.

As for fixing it permanently, there's a couple possibilities.

The mencoder option "-audio-delay" will work if it's just offset by a
certain ammount at the beginning...  If it slowly drifts further
out of sync, you'll need to set "-fps" to a slightly higher/lower value
to correct for it.  In addition to either of those two, you'll probably
also want to specify "-mc 0" on the mencoder command-line.
