I don't know where you play back this file, but according to the docs:

-audio-delay <0.0-...>
              Sets the audio delay field in the header.  Default is 0.0, nega-
              tive values do not work.  This does not delay  the  audio  while
              encoding, but the player will see the default audio delay, spar-
              ing you the use of the -delay option.

So I would guess that this would only work on players supporting this "default audio delay"

BTW have you tried matroska - you can easily specify a delay then.
