I'd say it's most likely just the version of mplayer/mencoder you are
using.  Try upgrading/downgrading and see if it's still a problem...  I
don't think it will be.

I don't know who informed you that this "doesn't happen".  I had
conversed with the author of avidemux a few times, and he seems to be
completely and totally uninterested in fixing this problem.

With avidemux, did you make sure to run the audio time mapping?  (It's
in the docs).  If not, try it.  If you already did, then you are out of
luck with avidemux (wouldn't surpise me).
