try also -mc 1 and -mc 0.1
Also -correct-pts sometimes destroys sync (esp. when ivtc filters are
used). So try -no-correct-pts correct-pts was turned on.

-autosync imho is useless, it only helps to solve problems that may
appear with some audio cards / audio output drivers combinations.

Another thing that can happen with mplayer is incorrect fps reading; in
that case, -fps <real fps value> (with or without -mc) can help

All in all, usually there _is_ some way to play such files in sync. The
question I'm actually interested in, is there way to fix such files with
ffmpeg or mencoder (without re-encoding, of course). When I tried
remuxing .avi which required -mc 0 for correct sync a while ago, the
resulting avi wasn't in sync when played back without -mc 0 too. That's
the most annoying thing about all these sync problems - even if you know
the solution, there is no way to "apply" it permanently.

Strangely enough, recently I've seen even .mkv files which required -mc
to fix sync problems. I used to think it doesn't happen with mkv..
