Oh, BTW, there's also an "Adjust Audio Sync" menu available in the SVN 
version ( 
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/commits/133981#133981 ) to 
do manual correction.  You can access it by pressing the Menu 
key--normally 'M'--while watching the recording.  If you aren't 
comfortable with compiling/running SVN, it's a feature to look forward 
to in 0.19.  :)
