WME: Theora A/V Sync drifts

Description
WINTERMUTE: We seem to have a problem with Theora video drifting out of sync with audio (= video is late). Ubuntu 64 LTS here, Core 2 Duo, default backends compiled without any special flags or optimizations.
Evident in the long-ish intro video to Dirty Split and also in the test game on my github.
Happens with current master. I also get WARNING: SDL mixer output buffer size: 1024 differs from desired: 2048!
I suspect it has something to do with frame dropping or lack thereof, but I might be wonderfully wrong.

Here you are. However, I really suspect that we are dealing with a /video/ issue here, in that the video does /not/ play in real time, while the audio does. This leads inevitably to a drift. I think we should drop frames or something. I hope I can make sense of it over the weekend (I have little time, though).

I may be awfully wrong here, but I think the culprit is:
bool VideoTheoraPlayer::update() { _currentTime = _freezeGame ? _gameRef->getLiveTimer()->getTime() : _gameRef->getTimer()->getTime();
I think getTimer() is not actually real-time. Will have to investigate further.

Possible. I suggest that you also try export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa as the lag could and the buffer size warning be partly due to pulseaudio.

Tobia: Please run ./scummvm -d 1 and report the SDL Video and Audio drivers being used. This could be a SDL audio driver issue on your machine.
Could you also indicate what sound card you are using?
