The transcode job is on the wiki, and it does include some basic instructions
for setting it up as a automatic job.
Try playing the troublesome content on a real PC with mplayer and see what
mplayer reports the audio as. Also I would suggest upgrading to the nightly
build as it works a lot better than the last release. If mplayer reports it as
being AC3, then that would be the reason, if it reports it as mp3 then it
should
be in sync on the nightly build.
