It is kind of mysterious, isn't it?  However, if you follow the
directions in the online mplayer docs (the mencoder section), you
can sort of see how it works.  It could be much better explained.

The whole business of how A-V sync works in mplayer could be
much better explained.  Right now, for users, it's mostly trial
and error determining which configurations of encoder and 
processing options work and which don't.

I notice that mplayer1.x is now compiling cleanly from CVS
(it used to be a nightmare, but apparently much good work has 
been done in the past year or so), so I may try experimenting 
and reading code to the point where I am able to write up some 
more detailed examples.  I have always had problems with 
mpeg4-ish sync, and (of course) some players are better than 
others.
