Well, it doesn't makes a audible difference for me.

"The Abyss" plays much smother with the new syncing, but there
are ocassional jumps in the video stream. These are reproduceable
(one is right after "Virgill Brickmann is back on air" near to
the end of the movie).
The chapter change gives a jump most of the time, too.

If this is related to the PTS delay, too, may be you should make
the delay configurable by setup menu for individual tune.

Am I right, that this has no effect for AC3overDVB?
