  So you must have some conversion from composite/s-video to RF, and
that converter must also take in audio.

  You need to either resample the audio (watch the clock and drop/add
samples) or resample the video (drop frames or repeat frames).  In my
apps, I believe in resampling audio and keeping the video smooth, since
this is especially important when playing interlaced content to an
interlaced TV, while other apps like xine or mplayer, since they output
low framerate material to a high framerate (refresh rate) display,
always tend to drop or slow the output of the video frames.
