Does combining that with the -delay option ('-delay 300' or '-delay
-300') fix the problem?

(If you need to specify a negative delay, as in the second example above
- that is, to have the audio come earlier than it normally would - you
may or may not need to put the option in a config file rather than on
the command line; I've had inconsistent results in my own experience.)
