Ah, yeah, I've seen that... it's because the source had hunks that
were different frame rates.

I solved it by using mencoder to decode the audio to pcm and letting
mencoder mux the pcm audio with the video using an -ofps setting that
was at least as high as the highest framerate of the source. This 
produces a very slight jerkiness in the video, but the sync is good.

Now THAT sounds really interesting! I must try the latest ffmpeg!!
