Today, I started all over again:

Took the original AVI, recoded it to very-high-bitrate MPEG4 with PCM
audio (Hacking the audio sample rate on the origial with MP3 audio didnt
work), plays fine, with no visible quality loss.

Then I hacked the header to an audio sample rate of 45983Hz
(44100*(25/23.976)). (I hacked the videe frame time to 0.0400sec =
0x9c40, too, but mplayer didn't care, uses still 23.976fps; wonder where
it gets this number from...). 

So I thought it should play fine now with "mplayer -fps 25". But I got
the audio desync again. So I experimented with -fps, and found out that
if I use -fps 27.40 (!), it plays almost correct (by watching lip sync
at ca. 60sec playing time). I tried with and without -af resample=48000,
to rule out issues with the sound card driver (SB Live+Alsa), and with
and without "-ni". I wonder where this weird framerate of 27.4fps comes
from. Ideas?
