How to solve audio delay with Airport express

[neue]

Hi,
What is the maximum of Audio-Desyncronisation (forward) I can get?
I am trying to use VLC to watch my Divx-movies with the sound from my loudspeakers via AirPort express using the software airfoil. The thing is, that the sound via airport express (WLAN) has a delay of about 8 seconds and Airfoil says that it is a hardware issue of the Airport express base. So I was thinking that I could simply overcome this delay of audio, desyncronising the audio and the video within the VLC-Player. To syncronice the audio and the video (audio via air speakes, video on my MBP) I should be able to accelerate the audio like 8 seconds before the video starts. Is that possible? And how?
I am thankful for al kind of help! Would be great watching movies with VLC listenng to my Hifi Speakers over WLAN.

hi neue,

you do this by adjusting the 'audio delay' to the appropriate value, using the designated 'hotketys'. this delay should usually be something around -3000 ms. (notice the '-' negative indicator..)

the default hotkeys are (i believe) the 'g' and the 'h' keys, but since i can never remember those, i changed them to something else in the preferences (prefs > interface > hotkeys).

in general this works great, except for certain streams that use the asf format (windows media).

(btw, looking at those hotkey-settings you can learn about more options that might not be so clear from the regular interface or the docs)
