FF card, yes.  Nexus-S.

I think it does get slightly worse over time.  It definately never corrects
itself or gets better though.  The desyncing tends to happen (though not
always) when the video fades to black or you use the skip ahead function.
Skip moves forward/backward 60 seconds at a time rather than
fastforward/rewind which just multiplies the playback speed.  One way to
correct the desync is to play at normal speed and briefly rewind the video.
Results vary though as this doesn't always work.

I'll pass along the part about the timestamp you mentioned.  So does mplayer
use that IIRC timestamp then?

I appreciate your response and hopefully answered your questions
sufficiently.  I will try to provide any info I can that will help.

Many thanks!
