Well, the performance numbers I quoted certainly show that. Perhaps
one of your components was compiled without assembly support, or you
need to enable threading for libvpx somehow or so... but as is, it's
too slow.

Does it encode at realtime, i.e. speed >= 1.0?

"-scale 480x240" or insert the scale filter: "-vf scale=480:240" (or
"-vf scale=480:-2". A smaller output should encode significantly
faster.

Before you don't achieve fps>=25/speed>=1.0, I believe we don't need to
further debug the audio issues. (I'm not ruling out that there are
further issues, I'm just trying to tell you what's obvious to me.)
