Sorry, it seems that you and I are agreeing with each other.

I was just saying (in maybe a not so clear way) that A/V sync is a separate issue than any Transport Stream buffering. Typically, T-STD violations cause audio dropouts or momentarily frozen pictures. BTW, I cut my teeth on the T-STD model when I developed the TS output for the dual-channel MPEG-2 encoder in the Motorola DCT-6412 and DCH-6416 cable boxes. I also fully characterized the A/V sync of the encoder with test patterns and an oscilloscope (which provides sub-millisecond accuracy).
