I've had quite a bit more success with ffmpeg instead:

ffmpeg -f oss -i /dev/dsp1 -s xga -f video4linux -i /dev/video -vcodec
libx264 -acodec libmp3lame -ab 128k -r 2 out.avi

This seems to work with the video and audio in sync, though I need to test
if for longer periods. Unfortunately the ac3 sound codec doesn't work in
this setup, just giving empty output.
