I am using pulseaudio. I have noticed that if I change the video sound output (sink) from the volume control of pulseaudio device chooser to either my PCI sound card or USB headset, the video has the above mentioned problem. However, if I change the sink to RTP, the video problem is gone -- though the sound is then coming from another computer on my home network :) -- Please reply to this list only.
