Yes, that's how it works.

Sounds like you've got a case where mplayer is trying to find where in
the audio that frame should sync to, then gives up after 10 seconds when
it can't find it... 

If you just play-back a file with -mc 10, you'll find that it does sync
back up almost instantly after it desyncs (either because of searching,
dropped frames, bad sound drivers, or whatever else).
