Yes... Very slight de-sync when encoding with mp3lame is a semi-known
problem. That is, I and many others have reported it, and even sent
in several detailed bugreports, but the mplayer developers have never
reproduced the problem. :(

Not to harass the developers or anything, I do appreciate the amazing
stuff they do, but this has been around for a while.
