Is it really necessary? We can see for ourselves with any audio file that
does not have too much silence on the beginning. For example:

ffmpeg -f lavfi -i aevalsrc='abs(sin(2*PI*t))*sin(2*PI*440*t)::d=10' \
  test.mp3 test.wav
ffmpeg -i test.wav -i test.mp3 -filter_complex '
  [0:0] showwaves=n=15:s=1470x64, pad=iw:ih*2 [a] ;
  [1:0] showwaves=n=15:s=1470x64 [b] ;
  [a] [b] overlay=0:64' -vframes 1 test.png

The output.png shows clearly a 74 pixels delay for the MP3 file, which makes
about 1110 samples.

I believe our purpose should be that a round trip encode+decode gives a file
that is in sync with the original. lame + lame --decode does that, for
example.
