I can play the original file in the Myth frontend player fine. No audio
mismatches that I can notice. Its just the trancoded file that seems to
have the out-of-sync audio. Where do I fine-tune that in the standard
player? Just so I can see what it's set to and I can try using that
value when trancoding the file.
