Oh, that might be one solution, only from the man of ffmpeg I am
unable to figure out what values of the async stretch or squeeze.

Alternatively, I could try to grab both audio and video in the mkv
file. I tried:
ffmpeg -f alsa -ac 2 -i pulse

This records the input from the microphone, and I need to grab what's
being presented on the screen (along with the video file). I do have
the original audio (a .flv file), but since I bump into these syncing
problems I might try to grab them both.

So basically now I have two questions:
- what are the values for the async for stretching/squeezing of the
audio stream?
- how to grab the "desktop" sound instead of the "mic" sound?

Thanks again,
Adrian
