Assuming that you will be using another device for audio which can not
be synchronized with the camera...

I guess that the only way for you to make it work is to produce an event
that will allow you to synchronize audio and video manually.

I think in movie making they use a small wooden board with which they
make a clicking sound just before they record a scene. I suppose if you
clap loudly near the mike before you take what you want to take (and
make sure that clap of your hands is included in the video), you will be
able to synchronize the clap of your hands with the sound track visually
(you could also hit the camera with the mike ;) . Otherwaise I have no
idea how you could do it.

You can use "Nudge" for fine tuning. You will find it bellow the fade
slider on the left side of the timeline. I think it works in seconds.
Positive values mean that sound will start earlier and negative that it
will be delayed.

Good luck.

P.S. If you find any better way, surely let us know :)
