No, at least not sufficiently.

Of course.  Currently we have:

      -srate <Hz>
              Specifies Hz to playback audio on. Affects playback
              speed!

How about:

    -srate <Hz>
           Forces the given audio playback rate, changing video speed
           to keep a-v sync. MEncoder passes this value to lame for
           resampling.

That's not a very good, but I am dead tired right now.  Comments?
BTW the resample plugin is only documented rather obscurely in
sound.html..

Why does my ToDo-list only get longer and longer?
