There has never been any such thing in the FAQ. See the CVS log here: http://cvs.mythtv.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/MC/FAQ and please show me where that question/answer is.

If you're actually seeing a/v sync problems with mythtv, please submit a detailed bug report to the mythtv-dev mailing list, and I'll be happy to work with you to fix it. If you're not, then, well...
