ffmpeg2theora seems to have some problems with syncing against mpeg
streams.  As a workaround, you could use mencoder (i.e. the one that
ships with mplayer) to first transcode to a losslessly compressed .avi
file, then feed that .avi into ffmpeg2theora.  Mencoder's sync handling
is superb.  The resulting .avi file will have no per-frame timestamps so
ffmpeg2theora conversion won't introduce audio desync.

mencoder -oac pcm -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=huffyuv:vstrict=-1 \
         -o intermediate.avi

(maybe you'd want mencoder to already do the scaling: 
-vf scale=320:240)

cheers,

David
