i'm connected straight into some pc speakers now using mplayer and i still
have to manually adjust the av delay to 300ms to get it right.  On windows
media player on the laptop, the sync is still wrong.  It doesn't seem as
pronounced, but since I can't find any sync adjustments for win media
player, i don't know if the offset is exactly the same.
