Sounds like you're reading the audio data correctly, and the problem
is just in your synchronization code. Sound cards generally don't have
very accurate clocks, so you need to schedule video playback based on
the audio playback clock. For example, keep track of how often the
audio engine requests a new playback buffer and update the visible
video frame based on that.
